The New style (2) has the control unit inside of the radar sensor
I Would Not install a grill without the plastic cover as IF a rock hit the radar sensor...It will cost you 3K...The clear plastic cover is there for a reason!

there is no benefit of upgrading to distronic 2 over distronic 1. Distronic plus is not possible on the 211 as far as I know. Replacing the grill will an after market grill will most likely cause an error message "distronic sensor dirty, check owner's manual" The sensor will think there is some stuff stuck in front it. You will have to make sure the grill has a clear area in front.

...there is no upgrading possible from distronic 1 to distronic 2...the older cars that require distronic 1 don't work with distronic 2 (the distronid with the control unit integrated in the sensor)...unfortunately...
