Looks great.

I got my car book in at my local Mercedes dealership for install. Did you install it yourself?

No, I was going to until my dealership said I may have to check any error codes after battery disconnection. I had an authorised Crash Repairer do it for me.

On the verge of ordering this diamond grille. Is this a safe seller though? Just scared of buying it and having it not fit or cause some sort of issue. Should i go through with it? Also, how much did it the shop charge you guys to install this in?

I had no problems with the seller, delivery was very fast. My MB dealership fitted my grill took them about 1 hour and 30 mins did have few mirror problems but they got around it. They charged me £120 for fitting it.

If I only could find a VIN from a C450 then I could find the part numbers for a OE diamond grill.

True, also looks (but can't be 100% certain) that the centre Star is fixed - so no good for Distronic cars.... Rats!

Will this diamond grill work for cars with illuminated star?

Is it ok to remove the original grill and replace it with a diamond grill on a leased car?

You need to check if the diamond star illumination system is removable from existing grille. The Muscle Leopard grilles allow the original star, be it a distronic star or exposed star, to be fitted on their grilles.

Some manufacturers of these after-market grilles do not allow fitting of original star, so you need to have an explicit answer from them before buying.

You'd need to contact your lessor about changing to an aftermarket grille and I guess it depends on the conditions of your contract, but you could always put the original grille back in when the lease is up.

How's the durability of this grill?
Will it break or crack in the winter?

I want to get it, but I at the same time I don't want to
I think it looks beautiful, but I don't want to get it because I don't know what to expect from this manufacturer. Should I get one or should I wait for the OEM part when the C450 comes out??

Can anybody here post a pic of the grill next to the one for the CLA? like side by side pictures of the two cars next to each other.

My dealer was given me the, "we cannot install a non OEM part" line. So I said screw it and ended installing it myself. Not terribly hard, took about 2 hours. A lot of improvising from the PDF instructions provided by Vic. Got everything back together, lost only one screw. Will post pictures shortly.
