E55 4MG

Hi, picked up my E55 yesterday, looking at de-chroming (unsure if this is a good idea yet as can’t visualise if colour of car would go well with gloss black, feel free to give your opinion)

if I do go ahead would I be able to get a standard grille that doesn’t have the disctronic plate ? From what I’ve read elsewhere it makes no difference to the function as the plate on the OEM grille is only to protect the detector., I wouldn’t be using the disctronic anyways so If this isn’t the case and a standard grille blocks the detector would it be okay to swap out regardless or will it constantly show faults etc on the car display ?

Makes no difference in functionality. Like you stated, the distronic grill is merely just for protecting the sensor.

Any update?

Ran a non distronic grill since 2014 no issues
