2019 C43 Panamericana Grille Swap

Hey MB World,

I'm new to the site but have read a few posts and hoping everyone can assist.
I purchased a 2019 C43 arriving right after Thanksgiving. Looking forward to having the car but hate the grill!
I want to purchase the Panamericana Grille that goes on the C63. Does anyone know if there's a site that is selling one that fits the 2019? Is the 2018 and 2019 grille the same?
Would like to purchase so I have in hand when the vehicle arrives...thanks for the help!

grabbed this picture from ShakyTom - sweet ride - but this shows the PanAmericana Grille perfectly

Your best bet is to search on Ebay, though most are replicas.
Best to post your message in the W205 section. This is for W204 models.

I've seen Panamerica grille replicas for W204 on eBay, but I haven't seen a photo installed on one yet.
But just like the MB Diamond grille, I have a feeling it will look awkward on our W204's as our grille is a different shape and proportion and will not take the design as nicely as it was it was never designed to be on our cars to begin with.

A google search will also reveal many pictures with the grille installed.

thanks for the video. Just installed mine and put a grill mesh behind it. Felt rocks would come flying through and hitting the radiator. Also installed a spoiler.
