sold it for (exact same one). I'll look for my reciept and get back to you.

No need Tinter. I know what they go for
at performance products. I'll figure it out from here.

I bought a W210 grille already. Can anyone with the OEM W202 avantgarde grille take a photo of it (front and back) and post it here so that I know exactly where to cut my W210 grille?

I believe the OEM W202 avantgarde grille is made by cutting a W210 grille by MB. Thanks.

so what is the part number for the grill from the W210?
also what W210 year does it have to be?
can someone post pics of where to cut things off
thanks

How much is a OEM W210 compared to the precut OEM one? Can't be much of a difference. I don;t remember how much mine was, 400 something it hink.

The W210 grille's part number is:
A 210 888 0123

Got it for about CAD$100. Yes, the same grille, precut by OEM, is around CAD$450. So, I think cutting it yourself is worth it.

Now, can anyone please post a picture of the front and back of the OEM W202 avantgarde grille so that I'll know where to cut my W210 grille? Thanks.

Has anyone located source for a aftermarket W202 grill that has NOT been cut down, in other words, a grilll made specifically for the W202?

Don't know about you guys, but I had some bad experiences with the cut down grill for my W201 and would prefer one that has not been cut
