2021 GLA 250 replacing STAR Grill

Hi Folks,
I ordered LED Star for GLA 250. Anyone knows how to remove it, I tried to apply force counterclockwise but failed. Do I need to remove the whole front grill to remove the star. I have GLE 350 which was super easy to remove by twisting it counterclockwise. Any suggestions

Thanks!

Update: I found out 2021 GLA 250 has a sensor behind it so looks like can not replace with LED star

The Year 2021 GLA 250: I just add the glow star. It works fine without any issue with the sensor behind it. I tested and the sensor generates alerts and shows the car distance. I will post more images and in detail. The star is multi color can be changed to Red, blue, white, green, or RGB through the app. Bought it from eBay for 60 bucks. Note: this is my experience with the purchase of the product. If you want to purchase the start please do it at your own risk as it can impact the functionality of the sensor. But in my case, it works fine. This is a disclaimer. peace

Here is the link, note this is a link for black I used the silver star from the car (original), when you remove the silver start separates from the rest of the body of the star. I accidentally ordered a black star so swapped the silver portion. Also, buy this at your own risk. I tested and it shows the distance of the car in front and also warns when I am accelerating too close ( This is really risky to test while accelerating close to the front vehicle but I tested to make sure it works).

Anyone have basic instructions on how to remove the star? Twist off, pry out, or does the center grill need to come out? Thanks!

2022 GLA 250

Someone backed into my 2022 GLA 250 and now the front radar sensor - or whatever it's called - isn't working. I've done quite a bit of searching but still no info on how to remove the front star logo.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks, but no luck as this emblem is slightly different from the H247 GLA 250.
Looked to buy a new star to see how the clips work, but no luck on that either. Nothing on eBay....

Anyone able to remove the emblem on the H247 GLA 250 without removing the bumper?
I tried using an iPhone spudger as
saineelp did with his CLA, but the most current model GLA 250 star is a different design.
