Which grille fits 460?
Seen that the grille on 463 and current G55s are different, can they fit straight onto a 460?
No.
The only grille that fits a 460 is from another 460. And what is the issue? A very nice looking 460 looks very nice indeed.
I've a thought!!
But putting it politely, don't bother. Wholly uneconomical to do right, and a bodge job will simply ruin a perfectly good G.
Save your pennies and wait for an early 463. that way you will at least have the proper start to convert to a look a like.
(Not just talking out my A*** by the way... I've tried it!! :oops: )
hope that answers your questions Asianbond.
would love to trade up to a 461 or 463 but not feasible given where I am in Hong Kong. Only able to import 460s.
Already got parts quote from dealer. It appears the front fender are different between 460 and 463. Total parts cost would be around 4-5k usd.
Total parts cost would be around 4-5k usd.
Why bother?
The classic clean uncluttered lines of the 460 are pure (G) Class.
Form following function, as it should be :D
Errrmm, that line might provoke an argument or two...
