Distronic and 3 part front grill

Hello everyone,

I did just order my new Mercedes C350e today and i did add the Distronic crouise control but is it possible to replace the front grill with a 3 part or is the distronic sensor located in the grill?

Best regards
Lars

in the luxury package, there is a rectangular sensor behind the slatted grille.

in the sports / standard(?) package , the sensor is built into the circular tri-star. Notice, on non DSP cards its hollow. in DSP cars its a solid piece of plastic

You are a lucky guy. When i ordered my C350e i could not choose the AMG line.
Would you not prefer the diamond grill instead of the mesh grill?
