How to install Mercedes Benz R129 front Grille

This video is about the install of an OEM grille i purchased for my 2000 Mercedes Benz R129 SL600. According to the Mercedes production numbers only 286 of the SL600 cars were produced in 2000. So I was lucky to find this one in excellent condition, it only has 39000 miles. However it dose need a little TLC. More of that to come.

Nice job, and a beautiful car. The grille most likely came from a V-8 SL500, as they are far, far more common than the V-12 SL600. The grilles are the same of course, so it doesn't matter.

I agree, most likely came off a SL500. According to the MB production numbers they only made 286 of my SL600 in 2000. I checked a website called www.howmanyleft.co.uk/ and it shows very little remaining in the UK. If anyone out there can direct me to a website that can give me more information about how many of the SL600 are remaining in the US that would be awesome!
