Thank you very much!

I ordered the black diamond grill from my local Mercedes dealership parts department. The actual grill is four separate pieces with four separate part numbers. The parts department could not locate it based upon description, so I had to do a little online research to find the part numbers. I will see if I can find them again and will report back.

The part numbers for the OEM black diamond grill are:

205-888-13-60
205-888-14-60
205-888-15-60
205-888-16-60

You will need all 4 for the grill itself (these 4 parts do not include the center bar/wings or the emblem). The grill was from the 2018 studio package or night edition depending on the country where the car was sold.

I have been meaning to update this thread for awhile. Approximately 6 months ago I had the hood, roof and trunk lid wrapped in gloss black, headlights tinted, front side markers blacked out, taillights tinted and lower rear reflectors tinted.

Then I had the rear calipers removed and painted to match the front calipers, and also added OEM aluminum AMG door pins.

Yeah, tell me about it. Luckily they are all securely held and nobody in my house is tall enough to get them down besides me, haha.

Looks beautiful. I went for similar modifications for mine, but I bough the hood with the crystal in the middle. Waiting for the summer to get here and install it.

Much appreciated! I gave it a lot of thought over the last two years and could not decide - so in the interest of at least making the rears less ugly I went with a match of the front OEM color. My concern was throwing off the car’s color scheme with calipers that clash. That said, my top choices were: (1) Acid green; (2) Gloss black with red AMG lettering; or (3) Chrome with black lettering.
