It depends on the model year.
It is a simple job on the older models. However the 2014+ Facelift version requires the entire front bumper to be removed to get it done. There are a few hidden rivets that you have to get at. Also, if you have one with the radar in the center star, just take it to a shop and have them remove and install... I got half way through my install before I hit a road block. I ended up having to button it back up, and take it to my dealer to get it finished.

Nice to see how your car has progressed a few phases.......nicely done! Where did you get the CF trim peices overs the lower air inlet portion? I've never seen these before but they seem to work with the splitter that protrudes more off the bumper.

Next mod:
*color match the chrome grill trim piece around the grill(I really like how the newer amg’s look without the trim around the grill...looks very clean) or
*carbon fiber overlay
*or wrap black chrome
also will do the same for the trims on the door and the rear chrome trim on the trunk
still contemplating if I should get a rear roof visor-it would be either CF or black to match the pano
