Any tips for swapping out the stock front grille?

i just got an aftermarket Panamericana grille for my C300 coupe and will be installing it tomorrow. I've read through all the guides and helpful tutorials posted around on this forum but I wanted to see if anyone had any individual helpful tricks/tips before I attempt this. Anything that you would've liked to know from the start to make the process go much smoother.

I'll be posting final pics once I get this installed:

Grill swap

it’s super easy
takes about 15 minutes ..do it yourself

At first you’ll think there’s no way it fits..because space is tight ..but it slides right out

post pics when installed
I’d like to see what that looks like installed
I just posted pics of my swap on another thread here
I went to the amg style

good luck

I got the grille installed with the help of a buddy. Took about 4 hours to do since we took it nice and slow. Loving the new look! Makes the car look much more meaner and aggressive.

The grille looks amazing with your black accents! What rims are you running?

C 300 coupe
Where did you purchase pan grille?

Hi RUNSGR8 - I also have a C300 coupe (2019) with sports package and am interested in swapping out my current, diamond grille for the pan grille. Where did you purchase yours? Has it held up well since install?
