New Custom Grill for my RED 500E
I got tired of the old gray grill and wasn't really inspired by the "Avantegarde" style either so I created my own. Taking a page from Scott and other custom grillers hand books I give you the "Bentley a la AMG look". I also re-did the lower head light panels. I used the same powder coated mesh so that they too would match the grill.
Custom powder coated Red Baron Red to match Signal Red of 93 500E. All chrome amenities were likewise powder coated red baron red.... The two front bumper pieces, the 3 rear bumper pieces, and each of the thin strips that goes along the lower door panel....and of course the piece' de resistance' THE GRILL  The car is in the body shop having all the paint imperfections removed. monochromed the tail lights and the black strip on the trunk. It'll look more like the new benzes now with EVERYTHING Red. I just hope the Grill doesn't whistle!  http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/aldedmon/detail?.dir=3e95&.dnm=beda.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/aldedmon/detail?.dir=3e95&.dnm=a5c6.jpg&.src=ph Last edited by aldedmon; 05-04-2005 at 09:59 AM.

No idea.
I've only known 3 to be in existence. Mine, One offered by Hatch a few months back and one with a salvaged title seen on ebay a couple of years ago.

You can add two more to the list, one I am aware of in Japan and the one I just bought. I was thinking about making an inquiry with MB to see if they can provide production data, you ever tried to do something like that?

Production data
Nah, But I'm sure there weren't that many. A hand full perhaps.
Got any pics of your car yet? How long have you had it?
