This is a new front grill for the Mercedes W121 Roadster 190 SL (1955 - 1963). This front grill is made of stainless steel and hand finished.

Stainless steel was chosen for the following reasons:

1. never corrodes(rust proof); grade (304/ 1.4301), lifetime anitcorrosion warranty
2. in case of dent or damage unlike chrome plated steel it does not require stripping and rechroming
3. stainless steel allows for easy repair and repolishing in the hand of a professional
4. it's a lot tougher than chrome plated grills.
