does anyone have the epc for the front grill removal. cant seem to remove it. lol it just looked like two screws on top and the rest are tabs. but i dont want to break the tabs.

Don't worry the tabs are strong.... You can do it 2 screws and the 2 tabs and pull forward

dynomite05

You should be ok. Unscrew the 2 screw, then unhook the rubber tabs on the sides, and pull back and up.

Did you went with 3 slat grill?

That vid is for a 204 not 209.

bheng

yeah but not the cf one everyone is getting. i just got the updated cf grill in black. im thinking if i want to leave the chrome or if i want to wrap in cf and leave the star lol

i went with the updated one cuz i like the star in the front.


hmm i never got around to the install. so this video might prove to be helpful

thanks

As for removal, on my 2004 there is a brace on top that has the two screws. But it also just snaps in the back of the grill with two short horizontally opposed posts. After that top bracket is removed the only thing really holding the grill in are two other short horizontally opposed posts on the upper ends of the grill. You just gently pry the plastic body word away from them and get them out of their holes. Then very gently work the grill up from either end, because at that point there are only tabs on the bottom of the grill holding it in the bodywork, but they are slanted and need a little finesse and care to avoid snapping them off.

I started this thread on this topic earlier for some more info: https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...grill-clk.html

^ thanks

Just get it done already.

bheng

lol will do once i figure out to chrome or to cf. LOL. i can imagine both.

but for the sake of time. i will probably just leave the chrome for now. i can always take them out when i install it on the car if i really want to cf.

looks like a new mod in for the weekend =)

Black_CLK

If your still confused heres a link with pics on how to take it off. just ignore the C55 stuff haha good luck
