OK, Ken, they're yours if you want them. After looking at them hard, I can tell you this:
There are two styles of the grills, apparently. The ones I have for sale have a fine mesh screen, as compared to the ones on my 1979 300TD, which have a noticeably wider mesh. Otherwise, they are identical.
As for condition: The passenger side one has the chrome flaking off in just one corner--the one toward the hood and toward the center of the windshield. The amount of chrome (or whatever it is) that is missing is very small. Less than the size of a small fingernail. Otherwise, it is fine. The driver side one does not have any flaking at all.
And I PROMISE you that I will NOT be a Donkey in this or any other transaction. You have this guarantee--if you don't like them, I send you your money back the day I receive the grills back. I pay the shipping to you; you pay it back to me.
Let me know what you think.
