grille removal for a 2011??

I checked the DIY as well as many of the other threads and it seems the black cover for my grille and radiator is different enough that makes the DIY unusable.

Does anyone have instructions for the 2011? I'd rather not take it to a shop for $200

So easy!! Took less than 5 min to remove and replace the first time I switched on my C350.

Merc C220 2011
Hi Guys, this video was REALLY helpful thanks! I've just ordered a brand new C220 W204 (2011 model). I want to buy a sports grille for it. I can find the part number for the W204 2007-2011 model, which is A204 880 00 23 but am worried whether it will fill the new 2011 March-onwards W204. My local Merc garage is telling me it's a different grille with different part number & will cost nearly £400 plus fitting!!

Someone else told me Mercedes change their part numbers regularly so although the new grille has a new number it may be identical.

I can get a A204 880 00 23 grill for £100. Does anyone know whether it will fit a post March 2011 car?????????

thanks
