Grill swap question
Hi all,
I tried to search the forum on this but didn’t find what I was looking for. Please forgive me if it’s there and I missed it. A few questions for the group.
I have an ‘18 E300 sport pkg non 4matic.
I would really like to swap my front grille to the traditional or luxury grille (example pic here).
Questions are……
1) Would a traditional/luxury grille fit my car in an easy swap IF I could even find a luxury grille? Or does the luxury grille go with a different bumper setup?
2) As a back up I would be fine with the diamond grille (example pic) but is a grille swap an easy DIY process to begin with? I just hate the two chrome bar grille that comes on these.
3) If I did buy a diamond grille can someone recommend for me a good vendor to buy the diamond grille from?
Thank you all for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

Can't comment about the traditonal grill but the diamond grill will fit. Please see the video's on my YouTube channel for how to do it; easy job for any half competant DIYer.
I bought mine used from Ebay and sold on my original one for virtually the same price. Saloon/Estate/Coupe/Cabrioelt grilles are all inter-changeable.
