Here a pic before and after. Really simple to change, remove top assembly and loosen support bracket then ease the lugs out with plastic trim tool

I like the conversion. Where did you get the headlights from?

I'm surprised... because I usually shy away from anything even slightly "blingy" but I think your new grille looks gorgeous. Well done and glad you found it easy to fit.

Funny that - I really dislike the diamond grille on my car - wish I could get the Pan America design like they have on the AMG GTs
You can get that on eBay for an e class

Do you have a front camera and radar behind the star? If so was there any issues in fitting?
No front camera not sure how the too close to car in front warning works

Sadly too few SL R231's about at the moment for manufacturers to care - vert little in the way of accessories or mods.
Sorry didn’t look to see what you were driving buddy

I have a front camera just above the star. Without one I'd imagine it works some sort of a radar system? The red warning triangle showed on my dashboard last week and I'd no idea what it was. Turns out when I read the manual I was too close to the car in front for the speed and weather conditions!! How did we ever manage to drive safely without all these gadgets to tell us we're doing it wrong ;)
