c450 grille question

Hi everyone, I wanted to change my front grille to the one linked below but I was wondering if I need to get a new star. If so, what kind of star would I have to change to? I have included a picture of my current front grille and star for reference. Sorry for the picture being far away, this was the only photo I had on my computer that shows the front grille and star.

I dont see a full description of the cars it fits, just says W205. Be careful not to order a C63 grille as those dont fit the C300/450/43s. The car in the picture on the ebay site looks like a C63, or a "base" W205 with C63 front fenders and hood.
From your photos its hard to tell but looks like you dont have the distronic star. Do you have lane keep and adaptive cruse? if no, then you have the regualr star that doesnt have a camera. Just pick the grille that says "without distronic star".
Bumper has to come off to change the grille.
