how did you remove the front plate bracket without removing the bumper? I wanted to do this but found no way without removing the bumper or destroying the bracket since the squeeze pins are inaccessible. I have the standard North American front plate bracket from the dealer.
Anyway it doesn't look much different than this one they gave me with the 2022. There were two self-tapping screws holding the plate to the bracket and, once the plate was removed two more self-tapping screws holding the bracket to the bumper are visible.
Oh, I'm well aware. I have two glossy black ones filling the holes in my SL bumper, and I had painted two of them Iridium Silver for use with my 2006 CLK. I think a 20-pack cost me about $4 at Home Depot a dozen or so years ago. Like I said though, the holes in her bumper seem big enough for the push-fasteners.

Wheel Style and sizes
Good afternoon,
Interested in these wheels for a 2016 GLC 4 Matic, and have a few questions:
- Assuming these may be part of an AMG package?
*** What style/OEM part number are these wheels?
*** Is it a staggered set?
- What size are the wheels? 20" inch?
- What size tire (front and back) would one be running with this set up?
Thanks very much in advance.

I think there's an online source for past years brochures. You could look in there to see that years' wheels and option codes.
I don't know how to find it, though.
Maybe someone can help?

The only issue i guess i can talk about is the run flats but when it is time to replace them, i will go with good old regular tires.

Bought this back in October 2019, but I am new member to this forum so just wanted to post a few pictures taken throughout my ongoing ownership of this car ... Especially reviewing the first pictures from the dealership in LA that it had to be transported from, I am reminded of all those sleepless nights in the month leading up to its purchase in my hunt to finding a fully loaded GLC 300, sifting through national inventory on the daily - multiple times. Finally ended up with this at $21k in options and was delighted ... 3.5 years and a pandemic later, still a stunner in the garage and in traffic.

Wow! That looks fantastic!
If I may ask...

If I may ask...
- Where did you get the grill? I really like that it doesn't have the "AMG" badge.
- What color wrap is the main car color? It looks phenomenal!
- What wrap (including thickness) did you use on the chrome portion of the lower bumper valance? Is that a satin black? Maybe it's old aged eyes but it looks to me like you might have used a color complimentary to the main car color.
- Did you use the same color on all the other chrome (barring the tips)? Those bits definitely do look like a satin black.

No distronic on mine. I believe the illuminated star isn’t available with distronic but could be wrong. I wasn’t a fan of the illuminated star at first but I’ve grown to love it!
