EQB Front Grille Upgrade

Just picked up a 2023 EQB 250 and I really want to get the panamericana grille, but doesn't look like anyone makes it yet. Has anyone been able to find one? Is our front grille identical to any GLB models or other cars?

Nope.

The entire front facia is unique to the EQB but you might be able to swap into the AMG appearance blank grill insert with the cross bars in chrome.



I'm gonna assume that in theory a competent body shop could replace the entire front with GLB parts, including the panamerica grill, but that would do terrible things for range and probably require some home brew engineering behind the grill due to totally different cooling systems.

I would be interested too as the AMG grill looks a bit smarter IMO. I wonder if there is an easy way to get the horizontal chrome strips and stick them as the slots for those as already embossed on the grill.

FWIW, it looks like the 2024 EQB will be receiving a mild facelift of some sort. There might be some OEM options for retrofit since it looks like the headlights are unchanged.....

Easy to retrofit an EQ grille or the star?

I see Brabus, AMG, Maybach grilles for the ICE cars but none for the EQ line....

Any update on this?

I prefer the classic AMG grill with the vertical chrome slats than the default OEM EGB grill, is there any good aftermarket or better still OEM way of changing the default EGB grill to the classic AMG grill?

I appreciate any help. Thanks to all.

Found this on EBAY, and I think it’s a great option to replace your existing grille.
