w205 grill how to replace? need Help!!
 

Hi guys! Just bought grill replacement for my w205.. anyone knows how to install this or its needs professional shop to do it? appreciate your inputs.

Installation takes about two hours, you have to take the bumper off. Search for "diamond grill" and you will find a PDF with instructions.

Thanks for the info!! Sounds like u have to bring it to the shop..... Did you need special tool to replace the the grill.

Thanks again! Would appreciate if tou can send me PDF link.. Cant find it.. Thank you again

AWESOME!!! THank you !!

Unless the C205 grill is really different from previous C Class & E Class removal is not very difficult. I have replaced previous C & E grills. Had help from local shop. Removal took less than 10 min. Nothing to do with grill,radiator,bumper etc.


Thx for the update.

A w204 grille is a 30 second swap, it is not comparable to the W205 where the bumper needs to come off.

def different, W204 was a joke but the W205, bumper comes off!

Had mine changed to diamond grill and garage had to take front bumper off took about and 1hr to fit and charged me £60

Hello,

Can we install a different style or do we have to keep exactly the same as original ?

any picture of what is possible ?

thank you for your experience

You will first need to remove front bumper. Not too difficult to do. Then remove old grill from bumper, it's secured by mostly clips and padding.
Here are a couple videos that helped me:
Good luck.

Thanks a lot, I will post there !

You're most welcome or you can also PM them.

As already posted, the front bumper will need to be removed to swap grilles. The multiple online videos will walk you through it. It may seem scary but it's really not difficult at all and one person can easily handle it. Just don't force anything.

The grille is only fastened by a series of tabs and slots. It all just snaps in and out.

Any W205 grille will fit. The only exception I'm aware of is the luxury grille, which is a different animal (pictured below).

Best of luck to you!

Man I really like the luxury grille, why did MB discontinue it for the C-Class ugh

I agree, it is really nice if you're going for the smooth and classy look.

:y

Yup I mean the luxury grille looks good on the W214 better than the amg line I would even say, fits that car's character more.

Thank you, so these grilles should be ok, sellers also confirmed.

yes but in many countries skumbags will break the star on top of hood, reason why most people who need to park their car outside do not buy it...

I mean vandalism is a common thing across the globe, that is also an issue in some States here in the USA.

It's my understanding that the star is interchangeable with the round badge as they both mount the same.. So you can get the classic grill and swap out the star hood ornament.

Ya that is true I think.
