Grille Emblem Replacement
 
I have a thread on here for my new build but...
I recently got into a minor car wreck and decided not to go through insurance and I’m left with a scratched rear bumper and a broken grille emblem.

i don’t think the grille itself is broken however, I bought a new emblem to put in place of the broken one and it doesn’t seem to stay put, if you touch it, it moves and if I drive too “harshly”, it falls out. I’ve tried to glue it in place but it didn’t work.

Im thinking next, I try drilling holes and zip ties...

what do you guys guys think I should do?

Is the top point straight up? From a left position They twist in and lock clockwise, force it, is it from eBay ?

I got it off of amazon. I’ll try forcing the twist. It for sure is right side up

Of the 3 points on the start only one point is for vertical - up, once you find that point you insert it with the top point about an inch to the left and force it to the right.

I bet there are instruction videos on YouTube

You need to remove the grill to be sure to find the issue, I got a new grill where I couldn’t get the star to fit until I filed a tab,

My grill is cracked so I would love to find one like that! Looks good.

Looks great, I'm looking at swapping out my grille to a GTR style from eBay/Amazon. I'm assuming the front bumper cover has to be removed to install the new grille?

Karli 02-18-2019 12:43 AM
will this grille fit on a 2012 base model? or just the 4matic? @C300fan2
