I ordered all of the OEM grill parts today from Pelican. I was on the fence about the Distronic star cover since it was expensive but the feedback from a few of you indicated the current Distronic star cover would not be compatible with the new grill. Estimated arrival on the parts is next week. I'll post up pics once I receive everything and have a chance to remove the bumper and get everything swapped over. The prices from Pelican were about 30% lower than one of the MB dealers that responded to my request for parts quotes. Kind of sad that I emailed 4-5 dealers and only 1 responded.

Just don't mash the pedal. You'll give it away.

I brought it to my MB dealer. They threw it on(1 hour). Camera works perfectly(they realigned everything).
Just search GLC43 Grill or Panamericana Grill for GLC 43 on Amazon.
Good luck.

Looks good . I am actually glad I went with the silver/black version as I feel it breaks things up a little. I think if I went with the black I would black out the MB Symbol. The black grille would look great on a white one for sure.

I tried the all black MB Symbol first, but as you stated I needed to mix things up and since my GLC still has some chrome bits here and there. So I decided to keep the chrome symbol. Either silver/black combo or all black will look good. Can't go wrong with Pan Grill.
