C-class W205 front grille from China Aliexpress ok ?


Hello,

On Aliexpress when you search what I will type below, you can find grilles but I wonder if anybody bought them and can confirm that quality is ok ?
I can post the links but as I do not know if allowed, I tell you the product titles:

Thank you so much for sharing your experience !

Ebay is better, they have a flood of grilles and they ship from USA. Just find a seller with good feedback.

Except that they ship from USA I do not think that the quality is better, as those on Ebay certainly come from China.
But anyway as I am not in USA I might be hit by customs duty anyway in case they check the parcel, so China is always cheaper.
No experience from Chinese sellers ?
Thank you.

Sorry, I was trying to save you shipping wait times, but as you said, you are not in US.

When in doubt, I usually pick AliExpress sellers based on positive reviews, number of items sold and length of time the store has been open. I've never had an issue.

Good luck

fitment will never be 100% but most can be installed without much issues. check if there are comments stating the grill doesn't clip in and stay away from it

eBay is a better option less hassle to get help if there's an issue with purchase, seems like all the aftermarket grills are made in the same place anyway.
I got my grill from eBay seller from china , a buddy got his from Ali express and another guy from local car club purchased locally..... all were the same exact grill only real difference we all paid different prices lol.

you just need make sure order the right grill and make the factory star fits, when I purchased mine there were two options for stars twist and snap in.

Correct, people buying directly from China get the best price for exactly the same thing, but some know it only too late :-)
$30 for the grille is not a big risk anyway, and the complaint / claim center of Aliexpress is as good or ever better than ebay...
