SUV broke my gorgeous CLS500 grill..how to replace?
God, I hate SUVs....Fender bender today - luckily no damage, but the SUV cracked the 3-pointed star on my CLS500 grill. I think I will need to replace the entire front grill now.
Do you guys have any ideas what the OEM part number for this is? (2006 CLS500) And approx how much it costs? Also, is the grill easy enough to replace or do I have to get it professionally installed?
thanks for any advice! much appreciated.

If just the actual Star is damaged it is part 2158880186 (for comparison shopping, parts.com http://www.parts.com/oemCatalog/inde...D=2&makeid1=67 $48.88) however, if grille where it attaches is also damaged grille is part 2198800083 (236.90).

Thanks a lot! Do you know if the grill is something I can install fairly easily (seems fairly straightforward) or do I need to take it to a repair shop?
