radiator screen with panamericana grille

I'm curious if anyone has used a radiator screen if they installed the panamericana grille. I've read people have had damage to their radiators because the openings are so large. If anyone has put one on please let me know what type and where you got it. I'm debating on buying a panamerciana grille for my C43 but not sure I want to take the risk.
Thanks!

I was thinking about it. I did purchase it however when I look at the once MB places on the cars, they don't seem to have any protection either.

Agree, but MB has been sued in the past for radiator damage due to no protection as well. I'd rather be safe than pay an arm and a leg to fix a damaged radiator.

It would be good to see someone do it or who has done the work so we can all see it.

I did. Panamericana grill bars are so wide that I was afraid some debris could damage the radiador. Not easy to attach from behind but it looks nicer and safer. Got it at amazon. aggauto Universal 40"x13" Car Grill Mesh - Aluminum Alloy Automotive Grille Insert Bumper Rhombic Hole 4x8mm, One of the Most Multifunctional Shape Grids Black

I have already on my car that grill and what i can say ... i not see a damage radiators... looks very nice i love it
About Repleace: 18 screw , 2 hide on vent bumper. Cover from engine , plastic cower in insaide fenders but dnt neet take all out only 2 or 3 screw out. Is possible doit this on parking without jack . I good idea before start turn off car and wait 15 min when boardnez go sleep than u can unpluge camera propably car wont later mistake 360 degrease camra if you have. Even when u got this fault camra stiill should work . Dificuold is take off old one grill take a lot of time . For take of star from grill u have too turn left anyway is easy problematic is star for radar... is harder for take out for me take about 1h40m i doit this in my own small garage
