Panamericana Grille Completed

It's done. Took 2.5-3 hrs. Looks great and really sets the car off.

Hi,
I have a big request... Please advise. I replaced the AMG grille with a PANAMERICAN. Unfortunately, since the exchange there have been sounds, whistling...
Any advice please. I will be grateful for your help.
Thank you. Igor Pinter

@IGIPOP Sorry for the delay. I hear no noise. But search the forums, I remember reading something about a few people having that issue. If I recall correctly they had to seal around the grille if I'm not mistaken. For whatever reason I don't have the whistling sound.

Based on the post above try putting painters tape around the edges.

Looks great! Mine didn't come with the AMG badge. Did you purchase that separately?

​​​​It's been a while and I had a shop do it. I didn't want to mess with my baby. Sorry I can't answer that. But on my GL 550 I did that myself and the bumper didn't need to come off. You needed to access from under the hood.

Yes. Getting the bumper to fit back perfectly takes some time. As with fixing anything on these cars, takes alot of time and patience. I struggled with weird brackets on the sides of the bumper. Just WTF....

Looks perfect. great Job, how did you go about ordering? Possibly submit a vin to the dealer that has this grille and they will order corresponding parts or is there another way?

Make sure you question the seller that you have a real S63, and year. or they will send one for a S550
