Front Grill Removal - DIY?

Hey Fellas,

I have been searching high and low for a DIY on how to remove the front grill on the C63.

I found DIY's for the regular W204's. Was wondering if its the same idea?


I am in the process of De-chroming the car with Gloss black vinyl. I would much rather remove the grill and wrap it, then leave it on the car.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Carefully pull it off.
From what I recall there are only a few clips holding it in place which will become obvious when you pull the whole thing forwards.

Easy.

1. You have to remove the push pins (2) linking the plastic T bar with the grill
2. Then push inward (toward the engine) the bottom part of the grill (where it meets with the front bumper) to unlock the tabs
3. Once done you'll be able to remove the grill out of its location

Et voila! GL

Thanks a lot bud!

Its 20 below zero here, so I don't want any broken plastic clips. Im going to wait until its a bit warmer before pulling the grille off.
