Front grill replacement pre and after facelift
Hello!

Looking to replace my front grill from metalic one to black one.
My car is 2006 (W221), but has fully body kit facelift so the car looks like a facelift version.
I heard from a friend that pre and facelift grills are different one is bigger, one is smaller.

Is it really like that? It has to do with the front bumper or the hood?

Greetings!

wasn't aware of a size difference - if you have radar cruise they relocated that from bottom of the grille to the top

Mine doesn't have a distronic, does that mean a grill without one will fit perfectly?

not sure - check part number of the bonnet (if that’s the same it must fit) but check / be careful closing it in case clearance to the bumper changed
