Coupe Grill on E350 4matic Sedan???

I am planing to upgrade to a 2012 E350 4matic sedan and
want to put a Star Grill on it i saw a 2011 OEM coupe grill
on Ebay will it fit the sedan. Also how hard is it to replace it a DIY
or a dealer job.

It is very easy to do yourself. Search this forum for," grille removal", there has been many post about this and many members have the star grille on their vehicle. Good luck.

I don't mean to spoil your party but I doubt that that grill would fit but instead , you could use sporty grill made for W212 .

And, as I understand it, you cannot swap grills at all if you have Distronic plus.

Great way to spoil and generalize the look of your car, IMO. You can not put the "actual" Coupe grille on, as the Coupe grille is formed and proportioned by M-B designers to look proper on a front end formed and proportioned properly for it. What you will get on a Sedan is an aftermarket unit that is ill fit (forced) into the opening that is proportioned and designed to look proper with the agressive-Luxo face.

K-A obviously does not like the star grille on the sedan but lots of folks do, like me.

My problem is I have the Distronic and have not yet got the Distronic allowing star but will get it.

55Tech is a company I bought my star grille from for my earlier car without the Distronic. I paid $229 for it and now they have more models than just one, like the CLS type one. Go have a look.
