W210 Grille blockage
I am about to install a German-made sports grille (center star) in place of the factory grille. Both grilles have what looks like a deliberate 'blockage' of flat plastic set back from the face of the grille - upper left hand corner as you look at the grille.
This places a block directly in front of one of the air intakes for the airbox. Is there a reason for this? Can / should it be cut away?

Thanks Jay, I realize that both grilles have it and I don't see why I cannot remove it - but it's permanent of course. I just wondered why it was there to begin with.
