anyone know if the year of grill matters? like will any aftermarket one after 2014 fit? or does it have to be the new facelift version meaning 2017-2019?

Is that for a 2014+ W222? Does it have the rubber gasket at the top?
Thanks

Greetings. The grille for sale is for the +2018 and up S class which as you can see is different ( design ) from the 2017 or older S class.

You do not need new rubber gasket to fit the 2014-2017 preface S class including the S63. What you will need is to change the front camera “ bracket “ as you can see from this video which is also from α preface S class ( S63 ) that I had to purchase separately to complete the install:







Again if this grille is to be install on α preface S class, you will need the pictured camera bracket.

If it’s for α +2018 and up S class which is the exact OEM grille I am selling, the bracket is not needed.

The reason α preface S class will need the camera bracket is because the preface camera/bracket sits on α different height as the +2018 S class as you can see from the video.

You will not need to any recalibration of the camera. It’s plug and play weather it’s for α preface or facelift S class.

PS. If you look at the attached video, you will see the difference between the prepare grill and facelift grille.

Hope this help.

i assume i will have to replace the grill if i want a perfect fix anyone know how much that runs for?

secondly any clue what i could do to temporarily cover up the chrome scratch/scuff? i know the black plastic behind is cracked too but thats harder to see so just covering the chrome would be great while i wait for my fix
I've got a extra grille that is in great condition I will sell you

Thanks. I saw the video. I know it does not show a rubber gasket, I have not looked at a new car to see if one exists. I'm sure its there for a reason to keep water out/away from dripping down that area.

To give you an ideal. Car is mine 2017 W222 S63 sedan with +2018 W222 S63.

No top gaskets:





The short ( red ) camera bracket from the preface 2017 and older S class has the shorter bracket while the +2018 W222 S63 sedan:
