HELP!!!!
Hi guys I’m looking to convert to diamond amg grill A2058881260 with the star A0008881000. The problem I’m having is the star for some odd reason isn’t fitting and won’t snap in correctly there isn’t any damage parts.
If possible can you guys help and guide me in the right direction???
Thank You in advance!!!

The parts you listed are both OEM parts and should fit. Are you aware that the star twists slightly in a clockwise direction to lock in place?
Here's a short video that shows you how it fits:

[QUOTE=Andy74;8060198]
That would be what's called the "interchange part number" and not the manufacturer's part number. Regardless...the number is irrelevant and the installation is still the same as I explained. Hopefully that information can help OP eliminate that as an issue.

[QUOTE=irondad;8060211]I am not sure why its not fitting. Usually aftermarket parts have less restrictions compared to OEM parts.

They are both oem parts I have a 2017 c300 non amg but I’m changing my grill to the diamond grill and bought both pieces from different sellers. I contacted the seller of the star and his star is from a 2019 c43 he said it was on the horizontal grill. I’ve checked all videos and tried everything but still won’t fit

Your diamond Grill is prefacelift and your star is facelift. The star wont fit.

ok got it thanks I didn’t even know. I haven’t installed the grill yet, I was going to check to see how much the dealer cost to install it. I’ll more than likely just use my star on my stock grill

Please give your dealer a call first and ask if it will fit on your car. If the answer is no then I recommend you check Ebay there are plenty of aftermarket diamond grills that can be installed on your car. Get the seller to confirm it will fit before you purchase.

Hello,
And what diamond grill number for a A0008881000 facelift star?
Also A0008881000 is coming as a complete set of black backplate and star?
Thanks!
