I sent a message to a company in Germany that makes a nice looking SLK grille that does not have the Mercedes star in the center. I explained to them that while maybe not an issue in Europe, Chrysler has begun using the Crossfire grille design in less desirable cars such as mini vans and many of us would like a classy different look. They responded very favorably. Below is some of the responses I received. They are monitoring this thread, so please let us know what you think of this grille design. Below is their comments: and attached is a picture of the grille:

Hello,

I visit the Link to Crossfire Forum and a saw a Frontgrill for a SLK R170 whit Star. You dont like a Star on your Crossfire or???

But when you like we can make, whitch kind Grill you like.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen
best regards,

Hello Robert,
thank you for your interest and inquires our producten. Please visit our shop under www.chromline.de. Here you can find all our products for the Crossfire. After we developed overroll bars, wind bulkhead and windstop for the Crossfire and for this small interest are, for further developments and ideas no more did not make. It would be nicely of you if you our really beautiful products to your forum further-recommends became.

The frontgrill for Crossfire in style of SLK I made already before 3 years, however like said into production did not go. From the size the grill of the SLK only the mounting plate fits is different. If you would like can I for them a sample make. Please you look with us in the InterNet which frontgrill of the SLK I them for the Crossfire to make are. By the way we have a branch in Florida. You can reach our Sales manager under info@al dorado.com.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen
best regards,

Daniel Hauler

I did a quick search and their branch in FL is about 40 minutes from where I live and about 20 minutes away from nolexfire or anyone else that lives near Cape Coral.

 

Very cool! I find it amazing that Germans are making lots of after market products for these great cars!

 

Do I understand that the grills they sell for the R170 SLK would fit in a Crossfire, except the mounts would have to be changed? In other words a 2002 model SLK has a grill that would fit in the Crossfire?

 

I want the one with the holes from the other thread. Its like a silver black and it has folds and holes. Looks more sporty. That grill looks almost like the one we already have.

 

yea, I like them both, but this one is very similar to what the very high dollar Mercedes tuners are using and it doesn't have the mini van look

 

IM very interested in a new grill, but for some reason, i cannot see the attached file..?..?.. could someone post it into the thread or PM it to me?

 

I agree...They sure look a lot like the grille we already have....I will have to see if someone orders the SLK grills, if they really fit. I looked at a number of SLK grilles from a local supplier, and none fit.
