Change grill
I’m going to change my grill, I’m going to take the emblem off the hood, replace it with the blue Mercedes circle in its place, I’m going to put a new grill on with big emblem on front of the grill, my question is if the grill does not come with the led emblem, can I take out the one that don’t light up and replace it with led emblem?

the facelift (2013-2016) W212's with the classic grill and with the 'sport' grill have different surrounds, too, plus the whole front bumper cover is different. The Mercedes factory parts are not interchangable between these unless you swap a bunch of stuff.
There's probably chinese grill inserts that fit, I dunno

W212 FL
Alternatively, you could replace the logo with the black Mercedes-Benz circle or round logo . I normally prefer blue over black color wise but that black logo on the W205 C Class is outstanding and it should fit W212 as well . It says its dimension is 75mm .You should be able to replace it with a LED emblem but it only lights up when the car is stationary unless some Benz Ninja mods are involved ( I don't know if he bothers this at all )

ok, a 2010 is a pre facelift car, and AFAIK, Mercedes didn't even offer the big star AMG/sport grill for that, so any grill you're looking at is a aftermarket accessory. caveat emptor, the cheaper ones will probably corrode and look like $#@$ in a couple years.
oh, correction. looks like Coupes had the bigstar, while sedans had the traditional grill. and yes, the bumper plastic looks different.
