Updated title: 2021 GLC Coupe - Possible Safety Hazard/Recall

Hello. I just bought the 2021 GLC Coupe last month with AMG and Night package that gave me this black front lower lip. It’s all black on white car and doesn’t look very good from front. All you can see is the radiator and not the vents/curves. Is it possible to mod this somehow to enhance the look? Mesh, paint on rad etc.? Thank you.

Why is your grill different from my grill?, or is it not a full AMG?

okay so turns out, it is actually a safety issue as there is no protection for the front rad with this design. I have seen many rock chips already with just 1000 miles on the odometer. Did contact the Mercedes-Benz dealer and they said there is nothing they can do. I have email Daimler and National Highway Safety to notify them. Will see if this turns into a recall or service campaign. Please inform National Highway Safety at https://www.nhtsa.gov/ if you have a car with same design.

Thank you
