What do you all think of bright (chrome) covers on the mesh grill?

MB should make that standard, or at least available as an option. The normal black plastic mesh looks a bit cheap for the E class.

You could always buy them from Mercedes, looks way classier IMO, available in gloss black (as mine) or in matte chrome.

I'm assuming these are an easy install. How do they attach?

I tried to get the parts department to order them, and get the dealer to fit them to my car, but they either have no idea or refused to. The official Mercedes body shops also refuse to do the job because it is considered a "modification" and they are not allowed to do because they are the official MB shop. Would like to get them in matte chrome.

Very easy installation. They are fitted with double-sided tape and just press into place. I'll report back whether they stay attached.

Nice! Is there a link for an online store on where to purchase the 3 different finish options?

AHHHH ok I see now. The car comes stock with the slats but you can add these over top of them. Got it.

*Car is still on it's way to us so I couldn't just walk out to the garage and look at the situation

Do you have a part number? And is that side fin an extra part? Looks like the E43.

If you order the actual MB parts - you have to remove the entire bumper and pop the clips and replace them that way, The other ones are held by the wonder of 3M tape - takes longer to clean the bits than to install new over top. Having said that, if they are made of plastic they will get beaten up but that too should be easy to remedy.

Where can you find the brushed aluminum version? I'm not sure the chrome will look good.

I would say that your best bet is either Amazon, or the wonderful temple of everything that is unholy https://www.aliexpress.com
