Just noticed

[Ashley]

I had bodywork done to the car recently, I have just noticed they have put on a different grill.

The grill it had was the same design as KillerHERTZ (I had no pictures of my car ) but on a w210.

Any one know if this is a w210 grill? I don't recall upgrading the grill when I ordered it.

the grill for a w210 comes in 2 flavours.

Classic and elegance have the in in the pickie above , the avantgarde has twice the amount of horizontal chrome strips on it.

oh well i must of asked for the avantgarde grill when i got the car (9 years ago now).

I taking it that the bodyshop has ordered an elegance grill, guess I'm going to upset them tomorrow.

And no cheese-grater effect.

As said above the one you pictured is a Classic/Elegance one (has grey cheese-grater - no black plastic)

This is an Avantgarde grill:

And this is the facelift grill:

Like the Avantgarde grill, but with less slats.
