A good walk through of the grille evolution in Mercedes for the past 120 years. I am particularly amazed by the very forward looking grille on the 1954 300SL, which make a come back only about 60 years later. Merc's front-end has gone a long way after 12 decades 1900 - 2016 1900 - EV Era The grille is the easiest way to discern a car's make. It serves as the face of the automobile, which gives it an identity amid the sea of automotive brands on the planet. But unlike the human face, vehicle grilles go younger with time, evolving and conforming to what the car needs and what is allowed beyond the limits of functionalities. That's exactly the case with Mercedes-Benz's grille. It has immensely evolved ever since Wilhelm Maybach fitted his invention, the honeycomb radiator, to the Mercedes 35 PS in 1900. The radiator grille was designed to solve the cooling problem of internal combustion engines then, but ultimately commenced the era of vehicle grilles. In 1931, the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz 170 changed everything. For the first time, the radiator was mounted behind the grille for protection, which was part of the vehicle's hood. This gave birth to the iconic chrome grille, which not only served as a protection for the radiator but also as an identifier, together with the three-pointed star emblem. From then on, Mercedes continued evolving the chrome grille for decades. In the 1950s, Merc introduced a new standalone grille design with the 300 SL "Gullwing" and the smaller 190 SL roadster. It's known internally as the "sports car face." The horizontal slats became a hallmark among subsequent Mercedes vehicles. In 2007, Mercedes started offering grille choices to customers depending on the trim level. They can either go classic (Classic and Elegance) or sporty (Avantgarde), which was offered in both C-Class and E-Class. With the electric vehicle era peeking around the corner, Mercedes-Benz grilles are here to stay but with a different function from the protective radiator cover in the past. Without the need for a radiator, the German marque moves on to a Black Panel grille for its EQ range, which serves as a perfect surface for hidden but indispensable sensors. Here are some of the grilles from the past... And the future. So which is your favorite?- 15 replies

S'pore says Mas Selamat escaped without trousers Email this article Print article ? Feedback SINGAPORE - Singapore said on Monday that a suspected Islamic militant managed to escape from a detention centre two months ago mainly because of an unlocked window in the toilet - and fled without his trousers. Mr Wong told parliament that Mas Selamat bin Kastari flipped his trousers above the cubicle door before escaping through a window (pictured). Click here for more pictures Deputy Prime Minister and Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng told parliament that Mas Selamat bin Kastari flipped his trousers above the cubicle door before escaping through a window. 'The guard had assumed that the urinal cubicle was a secure facility and that Mas Selamat could not escape from it. This assumption was wrong,' he said. Mr Wong said Mas Selamat had planned his escape 'over time' and that the two guards who escorted him to the toilet had 'failed in their duties'. 'In my view, the security weakness of this window is the single most crucial factor which enabled Mas Selamat to escape,' he added. Related links: Click here for Mr Wong's speech The committee report's executive summary Mr Wong said he was not sure how Mas Selamat managed to get over the double perimeter fence at the centre, but said he could have 'exploited a weakness' in a section of the fencing. Mas Selamat, the suspected leader of the Singapore cell of Al Qaeda-linked militant network Jemaah Islamiah (JI), escaped in February from a detention centre where he was being held for allegedly plotting to crash a plane into Singapore's airport. His escape sparked a massive manhunt and a global security alert from Interpol. JI has been blamed for the 2002 nightclub bombings in Bali that killed 202 people. Mr Wong said that the investigation into the escape concluded that he received no help from the centre's guards or staff and was not assisted by someone from the outside. He added that the authorities were considering building a new detention centre inside a prison. -- REUTERS

Greetings, Wishing everyone a happy CNY. Had been asking around regarding the "mesh wire" type front grille but to no avail. Can someone let me know where can I find it? I am attaching a picture to explain what I meant. Those that are pointed by the red arrows are the grille that I am looking for. BTW, I am driving a 2001 Galant VRG. Thanks in advance. sport_grille.bmp

It took me 15 hot, sweaty minutes to un-screw (easy part) and remove off the 2 snap ons (took me 10 minutes! Plus fragile!). My Aveo now looks like having a sports grille. Want to get your opinion. With or without nicer?
