can not remove star from front grill
i've finally removed all the chrome pieces from my grill EXCEPT the star... i can't get that thing off the grill... i know the star is attached to a larger piece in the grill which i'm assuming is inserted and attached somehow... but i just can't get it out of there...
i've pried and pried and all it does is flex here and there.. but it won't come loose...
and the grill on the c63 is different from the other c classes... so the DIY are not really helping...

You can take it off. It just takes a little bit of tweaking with a long flat-head screwdriver. Look at the DIY guide again, it's worked for me many times. There are 3 points you have to "pry" loose with a flathead and it'll pop right out. Good luck.

if it's the 3 points that a flat head would fit, i've tried many times and i couldn't get anywhere no matter the amount of prying i did... unless i'm supposed to attack all 3 points at the same time...

There are 6 Tabs with a J hook that you need to unhook. Also there is a directional tab in the center to ensure proper star position. I just used my fingers pull up and push in towards the center of the star where the tabs are and it came off. 1 or 2 will come out at a time.
