Swee. Now you are getting me excited. Maybe if possible, I would like to take a look at yours before I order?

Have not washed my car for the last 1month...... So can't take a current close up picture. 

This is a higher resolution picture of the grille and the mirror finish logo just before I install. 

Of course you are welcome to have a look at the actual stuff before ordering.... I just need to get my lazy ass off to wash the car soon.. 😜

Yes heart pain to spend $1k plus on a grill. But I am prepared to do that if really can't find a good quality replica. How much did you pay for the fender? Did you also add spacer? Will it looks weird if don't add spacer?

Can choose with or without stock 360 camera mount. 

Initially was in 2 minds on which to order as I was considering the 360 then. When I gave up the idea on retrofitting the 360, I just order the non-camera mount version.

Choose this option. The option wordings within the bracket means can choose from 2 colours (silver/piano black) and from camera mounting/non-camera mounting. 

When checking out, you have to leave message to the seller to specify what combination you want, if not the seller will try to message you with regards to your choice.

 

[Benson]

Din know got piano black to choose from... Lol ... not all standard silver meh?? 😂😂

[Benson]

Is yours silver??

Mine and Michael's are piano black. Look at the horizontal slate and mercedes star logo surround. 

[Michaeltoh]

Yup... select the glc model tab... then message the seller which color (black or silver) and with or without cam.

Guys did you opt for air or sea freight for the diamond grill? I wonder if the price difference between air and sea is a lot?

[Michaeltoh]

sea freight... no rush for me tht time.

Sea freight. Although the grille is not heavy but the massive amt of reinforced carton material with dense styrofoam inner protection makes the whole package very heavy. So sea freight which goes by volumetric weight is cheaper. 

[Dcky75]

Ok thx. Sea freight it is.

Finally got down to installation of the H&R 25mm Spacers. 

Much better stance. Most importantly improve the cornering and lateral stability. 

Will post up the DIY steps later once I have time to sort out the pictures.

Nice! Will that increase the turning radius of the car? I heard the further out the wheel, the bigger the turning radius. Any significant increase in rear road noise?
