Not sure about AMG GT fitment..
We measured these grilles with standard prefacelift AMG GT cooler and it doesn't fit.
Coolers are too large for these grids.
I may work if cut the brackets and fix it with zip ties just opposite to intake hole.

I had a rock strike my AC condenser on my W204 C63, and that has nowhere near the exposure that these cars have.
If a rock were to heat these coolers, you’d be stranded.
Did you by chance happen to ask anyone in ‘Parts’ whether that part number for the black radiator guard was also applicable to our GTRs?
The GTRs at the AMG Academy Do have radiator guards, but they’re ugly silver things.

I asked my AMG tech and he said the same thing some have reported here. The covers that have been installed in other countries don’t seem to be doing the job. So they may be working on a updated version.
Who knows when they will be available in the US though.
I’ll see him Monday when they do a Service A on my car and will see if there is any update.
BTW: I have to leave the car because there is a RECALL on my GTR along with 123 others. It seems the ECU needs to be updated since it won’t currently do 198mph.
We can’t have that now can we?
Best Regards

They also told me that order banks for the black series won't open till the end of 2019 most probably. No update on the G63 4X4 in the new generation incase you were interested.
Demand for the AMG GT sedan has not been that strong is what I am told whereas demand for the new G series is thru the roof.
What belt recall? Seat belt or?
Did it take about 2 hours for the ECU update?
2019 G series I really like that SUV. I am hoping they come up with a solution to the poor gas mileage on the street.
Best regards

Yes seat belt recall. They told me 2-4 hours for ECU, but I think that includes nav/entertainment updates.
Wont know til I see the invoice on Monday.
