If you can't wait for the mesh grille which still sounds like its a ways off call Jeff Hunter @ 800-456-5337 or email him at: jhunter@moparsupercenter.com.
Tell him you're from the forum and need his best price. He's a real nice guy and always tries to help.

I bought the CTD grill, it fits over the existing grill. I don't know how damaged your grill, is if it's not to bad you may be able to cover it with the CTD grill.
I would have uploaded a pic of the grill ,but for some reason it's not working tonight, check my gallery.

no, the old grille is ruined. all the bottom supports cracked and it is still in the fascia but it is not salvageable. a mesh grille would have to go over the original grille so that won't do. i've heard that an SLK mercedes grille may fit. that would be sweet. she is already debadged and has the ronal mercedes center caps. this would actually complete the "what is it" factor about it. any suggestions of a mercedes grille that may fit? thanks, benji

benjiboy64, sorry about your car, that sux, but at least it was only the grill. Punch up LKQ, they're the nations largest automotive salvage co, they may have what you need in their inventory. Good Luck!
