anyone switch out grill for one with star?

There is a E class in my business park with the front girll switched out to one with a giant star in the center. Just wondering if its a certain year that comes with the star in the center grill? or if it was taken off a clk or something? it looks great anyone have any info?

mmm dont think it looks right especially with the bonnet badge as well.

If the star was more discrete and there was an amg flat emblem on the bnonet then maybe it would work.

Not OEM - ..............E-Bay has many choices. Most are straight swaps.

By far THE BEST look for an E55. Get the flat AMG hood badge and the CL style grill and you're STYLIN. It really lowers the appearance of the front end, completely gorgeous IMO.

Very easy and very cool to do. I prefer he look. The grill with the AMG hood badge is much better than the E grill and star.

I first bought an AutoBlitz grill and it was CRAPPY quality and took forever to get. I ended up throwing it out. Be careful not all grills are the same.
