Hey mate, I did something similar, I took the OEM diamond grill off my C43 Coupe and put a aftermarket (eBay from China) new style C63 grill on. It all worked fine, no issues at all. Are you sure your front camera is plugged in correctly? Mine wasn't initially and I had to squeeze my hands in (ouch) and give it a good squeeze.

My aftermarket grill had a small plastic holder held in with two screws, in a similar way to the OEM grill. The camera holder on the aftermarket grill was the only part that looked cheap and nasty, so I didn't use it, I re-used the OEM part, I just needed to use shorter screws.

My 2015 C300 Sport has a grille with a camera hole, but no camera. Do you have to buy an aftermarket diamond grille with camera hole or will any (non camera hole) diamond grille still fit?

C300 grill swap with camera issues after

Hi All, I purchased an aftermarket GT R grill for my 2018 C300 205 body. Unfortunately after I got it installed at a bodyshop my camera did not work properly. It was pointing higher causing the view of my car improperly. Has anyone had this issues after replacing their grill with an aftermarket ones from enay?
pls let me know how you fixed it or did you have to go back to the original ones. I was thinking of just purchasing a new original grill of the C63 but dont know if it will fit and would work with my 360 view.

As you can see the front view is not aligned

Hey at least it's working from a technical standpoint!

I would look at the grille mount for the camera and see if there is any adjustment room where it screws into the mounting hole. You may be able to shim it a little bit down and to the side.

Oem grille looks so perfect and authentic. I am not sure why you went for this chinese amg gt grille. I recommend you go back to your original oem grille or install the facelift c43 grille. C63 grille will not fit on your car. Dude remember: The Best or Nothing 😁

After: Since your car has the same colour as mine you might want to consider oem diamond grille. I installed it with the front lip spoiler. All oem.

Before: your oem grille is all black much better then mine. I should have considered dechroming it.

After: I changed the mirror covers to black matt.

Thank you for support and advice Andy 74

MyOEM grill is actually same as yours, picture was taken in the dark. I really like that C43 Diamond Grill you installed. Do they sell them in Midnight black. I saw one on another forum. I post the pictures when I find it.
My question is “Does your car have the 360 views camera?” That’s the issue that Im having with this grill. Other than that, I really like the looks of this GT R grill on my car. But if it interferes with my camera I need to replace it.
where did you buy your OEM diamond grill?
Did you have issues with your Camera for your 360 camera?
Pls let me know the part number if you purchased it from the dealer. Tech over the dealer don’t seem to know about their parts. They keep telling me that the only grill that would fit on my C300 is an Original C300 and the C43 will not work with it. Thanks Andy74

Hi, please note C43 grill will fit on your car with no issues. I dont have 360 camera. I purchased mine from German based seller who only sells OEM products. He has the C43 diamond night edition with 360 camera. He even mentions you on which car it fits. I like this website.
Please have a look see the variety of grills he has:
https://www.kunzmann.de/shop/en/tuni...radiator-grill/


Your problem is that he does not ship to the US. Your dealer should help you better. Most of the items I installed are C43. Please see my diffuser and exhaust tips. These are C43 I also got them from Kunzmann.

Thanks Andy

I just emailed their contact number. I inquired if they ship to any dealer here.
I wish there is a place here in US where I can purchase these. I really like your style on your C300. Nice Job Andy 74

Thanks R&R my car is a C200 amg line. I live in Beirut, Lebanon. Kunzmann only ships within EU for some reason. So what I did is I compared his prices to my local dealer. I found him way cheaper even if I included shipping cost. I use the services of a cargo company I give them the link they purchase the item and ship from EU to here.

Please dont buy before you enquire about the product to ensure it fits on your car. They have an enquiry option for each product. I prefer you proceed with Kunzmann but you need to figure out how to get the product to you either cargo company or a friend of yours living in Europe. I found for you this Mercteil on Ebay they ship to the US. . They say they have the night edition grill with 360 camera as you can read on the item description. See the link. They have watsapp. Message them. You might want to compare the cost with your local dealer. That what i always do before I buy online.
