Somebody started a DIY thread before on how to replace the lower mesh grille on a bumper
Here's the link: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...rill-mesh.html
Hope that helps I think there's no other way around it, the bumper needs to be removed completely.

I have a hole as well. That DIY was very helpful insofar as confirming don't need to take bumper off.
I was lucky - the rock that blew a hole through mine hit a metal vertical line instead of the rad. I could hear it in the car very loud is was such a hard hit Had it hit the rad would need a new rad.
I've been thinking about having one made up from machined aircraft alloy - probably would cost around $300 -400 anodized black but a lot cheaper than a new rad.
Wonder of there would be much demand at this price...
