I have these kind of grille covers on the fog lights: https://www.carparts.com/details/Mer...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

I'm trying to change them to grilles with fins but looking through ebay and aliexpress show spare cover fins on grilles that already have them: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000...archweb201603_

Anyone have experience with this swap?

No but let me know when you do find out. I bought 2 pair on eBay and none seemed to work so not sure how to install them.

Get what you are looking can be found on Youtuber Flexx as he installed them on his W205 C300

Man I was confused by the "fog lights"...they're actually fake air intakes.

i cant check those links but i bought these:

Can you share the link you bought it from? I saw a similar listing but seller told me wouldn't fit when I shared vin.

Doa

It's from Ali express. It's not in yet but looks the same like the fins I added on the oem grills

I've been looking for fins like @Doa or a grille swap, but I have the non AMG version, literally impossible to find anything that fits this shape:

I think use carbon fiber material will look nice.

My grills with fins came in today.
I guess I will have to take off the front bumper again to mount them

Did you install these? I love the look, but have already taken the bumper off once and I'm not doing that again although that looks like the best way to do these fins. I try not to mess with plastic trim pieces since each time they go back a little less and less perfect until the point where things get loose. Take a look at my thread...there might be some more ideas for you since we have almost the exact same blacked out front end. https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ml#post8210683

Also, I figured out the mystery why everything I buy on ebay does not work. The fins on ebay are covers for existing fins, so if you do not have the fog light grill with the fins already, don't buy the ebay fins or the ones like in the original link someone posted. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000...ef=VigLink+Inc

Looks like this is the right one you want that say

@Doa Did you get those fog vents installed? Was it difficult?

Doa

No not yet. I hate taking of that bumper

5ynatra

So I assume the only way to install those is by removing the whole front bumper? lol

Doa

Yes. With the 204 you could do IT from below but the 205 had things blocking access :/
