C43 AMG panamericana grille

Hello! I recently purchased a 2018 C43 AMG Sedan, and I am very interested in the panamericana grille. Has anyone had experience doing this swap yourself? Any tips and tricks you could recommend, or is it very simple?

Please search. Several threads and posts on this. Whole bumper needs to be removed and there are currently no write-ups on install.

I followed these instructions to the T and they were spot on. Grill swap.





Took about a total of 3 hrs to complete. From a scale of 1 being easy to 10 I would say it’s about a 3-4. This in my opinion easier than installing oem rear amg diffuser.

Used the same instructions that Chris mentioned. Took me exactly 2 hours to do! Love the finished product!
