So this happened to my MB logo - time for an update?

While washing my GT C this weekend, I noticed this...

The grille "star logo" was pushed in a bit, and two mount points were visible (see Red circles). I tried to move my hands behind the grille to push it back into place, but it wasn't possible.

Need to fix it, but also considering changing it up some (blacking out, or something similar). I've managed to find the part, and it looks like it might be two parts (the MB logo and the frame around it).

Mercedes part # A 000 888 01 11

Any suggestions on changing it up and fixing it?

This is a very complex multi layer screen for the radar behind, not just an ordinary "star logo" Please take care not to bump the radar and also try not to bent the logo.

Yes, I am aware. I didn't bump it or bend it. Something (or someone else) caused it.

Here's the exploded diagram:

And what does it do to that safety-system critical radar signal that's emitted behind the cover?
