Thankfully the Red alloys were sold quickly.Blimey Toe, 2 grilles, 4 red Alloys,

Looks great! Big improvement. My old grille is giving spiders a new home at the back of my shed. Will probably get round to tipping it in about 2028.
That grille is a big improvement on most new generation MB's, good choice.
Do you have any plans for the boot belt line, is it still chrome here?

Yeah. I’m delighted with the Grille and exhaust trims. Going to remove the C300h badging as close up it’s quite grimey between them.
Yes, tailgate Beltline is still chrome. The chrome door handle caps are definitely going to be body colour. I’m thinking it’d be less of a gamble for tailgate trim to match as opposed to going black.
Still, most likely to be a Christmas project so I’ve got time to ponder a while longer.

That looks outrageously good Ant
The link you provided no longer works?I spent a couple of days browsing through the forums, and it became clear that the quality of these items vary alot. I was advised to pay that little bit extra to purchase the ones advertised by "Bentley Grills" they advertise on ebay, i'll post a link below.
Make sure you check that it's the one that fits the "AMG C63", as this is slightly different from the onces they advertise for other C Class models, and check that it's in the material you want, I chose the chrome & black, but they do sell all black and carbon etc.
I used all of the various you tube videos on how to fit them, all helped a little in various areas, give yourself plenty of time to do it, as it takes longer than you think and if you rush it, then things will go wrong. Take the time to protect areas such as the front wings and bumper ends from knocks and scrapes. I used an old blanket to stand the bumper on once removed to save getting any scratches on it from the garage floor.
And you use the "Mercedes Star" from your original grille. I was amazed how easy this bit comes off the grille. A spot of super glue is worth using when you put it on your new grille, or it'll go missing once the local hoodlums see how easy it is to remove.
Good Luck

Ignore the wee Boy racer Tony. Not his fault he’s got no taste.I presume that means you don't like it Lennox,
personally I think it looks great.

I'm thinking about getting one of these grilles for my SL. I'm assuming that the insurance company needs to be advised of this "modification"?
