damn it ! already??
it's been 3 weeks now that i got new W204.
weather's good so wanted to take some photo of it and i notice front bumper and grill looks little off.
it looks like someone either hit front bumper or grill.
DAMN IT !
when i had W203, grill was attached to hood so easy to remove, but i notice W204 grill is kind og hard to get it off.
i dunno what to do now.
any suggestion guys??

204 grille is super easy to get off and there are plenty of DIY already posted on the forums here. Is the grille cracked or just paint chipped? If chipped, you can just repaint, which is what most here do anyways. If cracked, there are plenty of replacement options on ebay...figure around $150ish.

Same thing happened to me . . Just pull the grille forward, towards yourself, and it should clip back in. The clips looks fine to me so you won't have to replace it.

Yup just pull it back, happened to a friend of mine.
Its funny 80% of C's I see have their grille smashed in like that, I feel like a bad semeritan by not popping it back in place for them lol.

thought that looked like something on the right on your star, but could just be bird crap lol. If it's nothing, then just pull it forward and it locks in place. Taking off the grille might sound daunting when you first try it, but after a few attempts, you'll be able to pull that thing off in 5 seconds.
