Shanta,

Thanks for the advise, but Paul is right... the two grills and inserts are completely different.

I've got the one from Germany Paul is talking about and the quality on it is below my expectations... Yes I am very picky... anal.. or whatever...

Great looking E500... congrats !

My bad I did not pay attention to the fact that it was pre 94. Thanks for the compliment on the E500

Shanta,

Your car looks awesome, can't wait to finally get the updated grille like yours.

S60,

If Ernesto has any trouble getting extra grilles I will let you know where you can buy one. The price I posted earlier is what the cost would be if you ordered it through my source. The grilles at Erris are not the same type of grille I'm thinking. They are painted in gloss black and painted chrome strips.

The part I'm referring to is a OEM MB 1998, S600 Grille in metallic silver/grey color similar to the bumpers on Shanta's car. The chrome strips aren't painted they are actual chrome so the overall appearance should be nicer. I'll keep you posted.

This is how the one from Germany ( eris cardesign ) looks on my car.

As Afshin said the difference is that this is chrome and then painted glossy black ( like 2000 - present ) Mercedes models.

The S600, which we are going to customize to fit our W124s is metallic grey with chrome metal strips.

I will be selling the German one after the getting the new one if anybody interested.

Okay one last crack at this. Try contacting autorice. www.autorice.com They have a picture of a pre-94 W124 with the grill update.

A number of people at Star Tuner (formerly Benzsport) have purchased from him.
