Pulled the trigger!
Ordered all parts through Pelican Parts as above, thanks for the tip.
I also used my PCA (Porsche Club America) number to get 10% off making it a great price.
I will keep you posted when the parts come in next week. I will create a DIY for install as well. Love this forum!

I just called my local dealer and they said that there is only one grill and star available as they are all coming with parking/distronic. As there is no build configurator online for the '19 I cannot confirm this. Doing a google image search I could not find any pictures of grills either with a different star or without a camera above the star. I figure I will put a small piece of black plastic on the back of the grill to hide it if it is too noticeable. It seems like it is mostly in shadow anyway as the camera is not meant to be easily visible. The star will look good regardless.
Please post if anyone finds anything different!

Alright guys, some weird news from MB dealer, parts guy said the order was put on hold because MBUsa wants to know the vin of the car its going on...... Said they'd get back to me, I'm assuming they're gonna say they can't order it because I have a pre face-lift car, lmao!

Bad news... I got an automated email from Pelican saying they canceled my order for the grill parts saying the parts are “no longer available......” The email came in this evening after they were closed so wasn’t able to call and follow up. I actually had two separate orders - 1 for the grill parts and 1 for the star - and only the order for the grill parts was canceled... pretty weird... let me know if anyone was able to get their order through.

Emailed the guy I use at Mercedes for prices in the uk. Pleasantly surprised with what came back . I got my edition 1 kit through him and he supplied an ed1 part number so merc shouldn’t put a spanner in the works.
I fancy the whole lot inc the 2019 lower bumper inserts.
. A2058857904, A2058858004, A2058858104 - inserts in the bottom of the bumper - £105 for all 3
2. A2058881500 - grille- £205
3. A2058174201 - nameplate in the grille -£15
4. A0008880000 - glass star in the grille - £172
total £595 or about $750 US dollars.
All in stock in germany except the grill star. Don’t really fancy paying £172 for grill star anyway so stuck part number in eBay and you can find them cheaper as seem to be fitted to other models. Few knocking about for £90 ish so could get it all in for under £500 inc all lower grills which seems a decent price.
Now just got to decide if I want to do it! Looks amazing on the Matt designo grey. Need to decide if would look great on brilliant blue, and if I’m definitely a fan over the original ( and can be bothered to remove the front bumper)
