Final year (2000) w202 sport edition with OEM Avantgarde grill??? Pictures needed!

[kowalski]

Does anyone on this forum have a final year w202 with factory Avantgarde grill?

I need some pictures when you pop the hood so I can see how this grill is bolted to the hood.
Since I have a 99 C43 AMG with standard ugly looking grill I bought a fake Avantgarde grill where the chrome strips had some oxide which can't be removed!
I've decide to buy a genuine 2000 Avantgarde grill but don't know if the screwholes behind the grill are the same on 99 and 00 cars and fits my 99 hood.

I appreciate if anyone with a 2000 w202 with factory Avantgarde grill would take some pictures for me from the inside of the grill.

Thanks

not sure but isnt an avantgarde grill an aftermarket option?

i think it came on the avantgarde trim pack didn't it?

[wichipong]

i think it should be the same as any grill right? should be 6 bolts...

the bolts and predrilled holes back of the grill on 2000 w202 Avantgarde grill should be the same as standard grill on 99 w202?

Don't see why they'd change it
to my knowledge, they should bolt in fine
although I've heard of people modifying the s class grilles to fit (W140)
