The only thing id say about this seller and the grille bad comms and the original star housing doesn't fit the grille, i had to force it in so to speak it doesn't fit as easily as one would think,

And how is the install? Is it an easy DIY?
Thanks!

thats the shop i bought from perhaps he has no more left.. You can find them on line as well. The fit wasn't too bad Im lucky my brother has a 4 post lift so that helped I had watched various youtube videos which also helped. but all you need is a drill to drill out pop rivets 8mm socket torx screwdriver, a plain screwdriver for plastic fasteners and a pair of pliers to pull them out. thats about it. as i said the star housing on mine was the most difficult bit but as the parts are not mercedes things like that are to be expected
The youtube videos are really good also watch C class w205 ones as well as the front bumper is basically the same

Thank you for sharing the information.
Can you check to see if this is the right part?

When I go my car it says not compatible but if its compatible with 2019 E400 Coupe it should be with 2019 E450 Coupe which is what I have. Also, I would prefer all black version, that one is chrome. Can you check to see when you have a few spare minutes if the seller has the right all black version part for the 2019 E450 Coupe? And for the install, does it require bumper removal or anything major like that? Or Can it be done relatively easy DIY even by someone who's not an expert? If you happen to have a youtube video that you followed for instructions, please do share as well. Thank you so much. My car has the technology star with a camera right on top which is not like yours (you seem to have the actual star emblem?) (mine is embedded into the black glossy panel) so not sure if that makes a difference.

I am not a believed in the ebay compatible chart. ask the seller the Q for piece of mind, but i can't see the 450 having a diff front than any other model in the range except the E53/63. Mine is gloss black its the reflections perhaps but it is def gloss black. Unfortunately it does require the bumper removal it is a med difficulty mod diy tools needed are 8/10mm sockets drill for drilling out pop rivets and a rivet gun screwdrivers can't think of anything else. my grill has a dummy camera which is held in by 2 screws just remove and put in the real one. Your star I'm not sure about but if its removable as they all are then its just a simple remove and put into the new grill. the size should be the same. Search on you tube for front bumper removal and watch both the c class w205 and e class as they are the same process, there are more vids about the c class if i recall study these as i did and look for the potential tricky bits. I had the advantage of a lift as the under carriage has to be removed but all in all it took me and my bro about 1hr 30m. its not difficult but take photos as you remove stuff as some of the plastic screws holding the inner guard are dif sizes. anything else give me a shout
Just realised i had the original grill surround wrapped in gloss black so the only chrome i have is the star
