Anyone know where to get this one, love the Bentley look

 

Any measurements?
I couldn't find anything at mbworld either.

 

That was a one off creation. The company has no interest in producing them and does not know what happened to the one in the pic.

 

i order slk grill comming on wednesday keep fingers crossed
will see how it fits

 

this grill

 

Where did you find this grille to order?

 

I couldn't find the one I was going to measure but I did follow a SLK32 AMG to Target last night. After the owner went into the store, I sneeked up and took some measurements. Now I am really confused. The SLK with the Crossfire grille appears to be using the whole gille. Our grille is seven inches from the bottom opening to the bottom of the Chrysler badge. The SLK openng was 5 inches on the car I measured. Maybe there are different size openings on the SLK?

 

I like this one:

I'd buy that in an instant if it fit. Hell anything is better than stock, please let us know if it fits.

 

Hmmmmmm, weird.

 

Thanks oh well they problably would have sold well...

 

Grill dosnt fit try to put it but no go so this makes this trad game over

 

^^^^ F U C K

 

There would also be a concern for the way the inside surface goes back from the opening.

 

Anyway guys,do you know there i can get beatyfull grill? i wanan put grill in my cross like 300C have,where i can get thet?

 

I actually think this grille is well executed for the several reasons: I like that the mesh is on the same plane as the headlamp covers as it follows the intersecting plane design theme of the bodysides but instead the mesh grille plane overlaps with the bumper cover plane. Also, being set back as it is gives an almost venturi effect making the whole grille ensemble look like an air intake. The combination of a noticeable air intake with the long hood tells the observer that there is some performance contained within.

The gap between the wing logo and mesh is especially nice since it makes the wing look like it is "floating." Perhaps mounting a low voltage backlight behind the wing would futher enhance the floating effect and floodlight the shinning mesh at night and give a little Motorama drama to our production concept cars.

I also have no problem with seeing the radiator through the mesh as it makes the design more "authentic." The original mesh covers used in the 1920s and 30's were simply stone guards to protect the vulnerable radiator fins or the expensive vanes of the radiator cover.

I think this grille would look even more attractive on the more art deco-inspired coupe body.

Fortunately, beauty is in the eye of the beholder

is there a way we could get somebody to make grilles like that one-off for us? i just really like the way that one looks over all the others I've seen. I'm probably going to go to JRs Custom Auto here in Dallas after school tomorrow (its like 2 minutes away) with a picture and see how much they would charge to make tha (assuming they will). I'll let you guys know anything I find out

 

hey TeXfire71,

do you mind asking if they can also fabricate the rear hatch? the same one from the picture. im from Singapore and there are no custom fabricator is this country at all...

cheers

yeah unfortunately I ran out of time today to go. I ended up having to set up for some dinner that's going to be at the school. I'll call JR's in a little bit, and yeah sure no problem I can ask about it for you. Although just a warning. JR's isn't cheap. At all. They are really high quality and stand by their work for life, but they charge a LOT more ususally... just sayin

 

What about a Bentley style painted or chrome. The 1930's Delage autos had this type of grill also. Try googleing Delage image.
