Mercedes Benz GLE-Class GLE450 with Genuine GLE53 Panamericana Front Grille Upgrade

You just can't wait to modify your car. Sent the car to get the front grille changed one day after picking the car up.
Genuine Mercedes Benz Panamericana Front Grille Orifinally for V167 GLE53 was used to replace the old grille.
Original star emblem will be used.
Bare in mind to also order the camera bracket if your car does not have 360 parking camera on your car.
Still got to remove the whole bumper and I was quite glad with the result. Car looks more sportier now.

The badge is part of the factory AMG grill.

Oh very cool. I guess I was looking at so many after market ones and never saw the badge, but I had fitting concerns on the non OEM ones - especially with all the different tech options. You going OEM was the way to go. It does look awesome. Thanks.

You should find a way to get that AMG badge modified to not say AMG. IMO grill looks good but so did the original. All I see is posing as an AMG

Why not just buy an AMG? You get a lot more options with the AMG.

There is hope for me yet!

And my dealer told me when I ordered and negotiated the grill swap in that it wouldn’t fit after it arrived. Knew they lied……..again.

this looks great, do you mind me asking how much was the genuine grill, and how much was the install with labor? thinking about doing that as well but want to get an estimate that's fair

Just curious. Everything still good with the grill install? Any problems after the swap? Also, that new grill looks darker than some, does some packages black out the grill more? Like the night package vs a non night package?
If I plan on keeping this car I’ve got to get to work on this grill swap.

Can you tell me if this Grill swap will work without the Distronic front badge? Ty

You should be able to use your original front badge, but you can also check with your supplier to be sure.

In any case, thank you for sharing. Looks good.

GLE53
Hi,
I have a GLE450 too with the 360 camera but no distronic system and I would really like to swap the grille. Do I need to order anything else aside from the grille like emblem brackets or a new star emblem? May I also have the part number for the OEM amg grille?

Thank you so much.

you guys know the Night package on the GLE is AMG exterior, Right? My GLE 350 has AMG monikers all over the place including the Rims. Stop busting his ***** about having AMG stuff on his car. Folk that have AMG can tell real ones just for the Real tail pipe ports and the badges in the rear.
