I just saw today, on my 2008 C350, that lower black plastic webbing grill had a big hole in it. The one right below the main grill and the between foglights? A stone on highway must have done it. What is it called and where can I order it? Suggestion would be appreciated, thanks!

 

for OEM parts... go to www.getmercedesparts.com

 

Talk to your MB dealership's parts department, they will be able to order it.

 

I got a hole in my lower grill too, wonder if I could replace it with metal instead of plastic.

 

Carlsson has metal grilles and if I remember they are not much more expensive than replacing the OEM plastic ones.

 

Same issue here and I was reading in the C63 forum that the bumper has to come off to change the lower grille for their model so we may have the same problem and will add to the cost of labor. Can anyone confirm?

 

Is there any metal grille insert that we could just put on top of the plastic grille without having to take out the bumper?
