14' C180 W205
Is there any way to fit the diamond grill onto a 14' w205?

I seen many w205s with diamond grills and wanted to buy one for myself. I asked shops on ali express if they fit and they all say that the 2014 cant fit the diamond grill. Is that true?

Probably because when you say you have a 2014, they automatically think you have a W204 and not a W205. If yours is truly a very early W205 model, then there should be no reason why the aftermarket grills would not fit.

Just tell them it’s the 2015. 2014 W205’s get confusing to sellers. Που είσαι στην Ελλάδα;

It should work. Mine has a manufacturing date of 2014 and model year 2015. The diamond grill was installed with no issues at all. But why buy aftermarket chinese on such an expensive luxury car. I bought OEM for quality and durability.

Before

After

Bought mine from ‘newtownsquare’ on EBay for $85.49, plus he’s in the US so fast shipping.
Installed it myself and it completely changes the look of the car.
As a heads up I have a late ‘14 W205 as well! You can choose off his listings if it has a camera hole or not, your choice 👍

I can sell you my grill, I went for a pre facelift c63 style

And btw there is no such thing as a 2014 w205, you must take the year Mercedes gives to the car and not when you ordered it or took the keys.

The car was officially unveiled on 16 December 2013 and debuted at the 2014 North American International Auto Show.[8] W205 production commenced on 4 February 2014 at the Bremen plant. European sales began in March 2014, while the vehicle went on sale in North America in September 2014, and in South Africa in March 2015.
