C43 2019 Update Panamericana Grill install
#27
Just had mine fitted today and I'm very disappointed. The camera does not reach the end of the camera bracket and therefore does not work properly. The fit of the grill is also poor.
They are sending me another grill but it'll be a couple of weeks before it arrives.

Hey Guys,
Getting this Panamerica Grill put on in the next couple of days for my C43. My shop called them and they helped get the correct grill shipped from Germany for the install. All the company needed was the VIN of the car to get the right part ordered. So if you really want no hassles to make sure that you get the corect girll you can try them.

For those installing this grille with the 360 camera, how is the alignment of that since install?
I purchased one of these grilles when they were first released and the camera positioning was complete whack and screwed up the 360 cam.

Postage!
Just tried that link - wow, $100 USD postage.
I found a Melbourne based seller, so awaiting their reply. I love the look of your car with that grille

I was surprised at how quick the delivery was from China to Australia. Less than 2 weeks.

Hi team.
I had my Panamerican Grille fitted by Cafasso Motor Body repairs in Adelaide. They were recommended by MB. Cost $150+ GST
I got the grille from Mars Performance in Melbourne - $399 including delivery. You need to let them know if you have a forward camera, I was glad I spoke to them prior to buying.
The quality is amazing, I know it's a knock off but down to every last detail it screams MB. Holes, clips etc align exactly and the finish is not able to be faulted.
This week coming, the boot diffuser is becoming back, a few other highlights becoming black, the badges all being replaced with black badges and a matt grey door stripe and racing stripe being done. Then a diamond paint and interior finish back at MB.
My next project is a dyno-tune at Morpower to gain another 35-40 wheel kWs, but importantly a big gain in torque.
I also at the same time want to upgrade my brakes. Very interested if anyone has done this?
Cheers

I had the same issue with mine and I’m desperately looking for one that fits correctly so I can swap it out. Any luck with this?

hi I know this was a few years ago, but the link has expired...... Can you please tell me the grille code if you still have it ?
I've been struggling for weeks trying to find one that will fit the camera and radar sensor

This looks great Paj.
I've got a 2016, same colour / wheels as you but still have the Diamond Grille. Looking to update the Panamericana but can't decide between the gloss black or the chrome black. Any thoughts? Purchasing through MarsPerformance in Vic.

Just installed mine a few weeks ago, definitely a few hour install, but pretty straightforward with some YouTube videos.
Absolutely changes the look of the car, all black, and I love it. Got mine off Amazon for $115 shipped. Perfect fit, less two clips that I probably could have forced, but not worth the risk of breaking something. I also added a mesh behind the grill, since the new grill is wide open and I’ve seen posts of concerns on stones / debris damaging the radiator.
Enjoy. (Not sure why one pic is a thumbnail and the other is not!)
