@nw66 - Arriving soon?? Please take some photos of what the install looks like - if the quality looks good of course Thanks for being the first one to try this. Cheers Mate!
Grille has arrived, happy with the quality strong and sturdy! front end off to fit so will keep updated when fitted! have also got some mesh (2 different sizes will see what looks best) to stop stones hitting rads
Ready for fitting, i have a gloss black star that will go on when fitted! just see a post on here with bumper removed looks a big job and someone tried there selves with do not recommend quote! so will get done at a shop
Just ordered one of these will update quality and fitment when it arrives!!
@nw66 , dying to find out the fitment details on that grill you ordered. Have you had it installed yet?? I see from your post above that you don't have the radar behind your star which mine does... wonder it it would fit well. I'm very close to pulling the trigger myself on one, but wanted to get others' experiences with it. Cheers!
ETA: Just caught up with your latest post that you addded that mesh behind the grille before installing. I like that idea. Are you planning on doing the install yourself?? Pardon my ****ty reading comprehension, you already answered some of these questions lol. don't think I have the ***** to do my own install, but I did ask for a quote from the body shop my local Merc dealer refers its customers to, and they would charge me around $200 to install... Taking notes on everything you're doing before I pull the trigger tho
$200 sounds a good price for fitment as the whole front has to come off! mine is going in to have catless down pipes fitted i will get them to fit it then! they are away until august so have to wait a couple of weeks! will update when fitted!
Damn, that looks really nice. I bought one of these grills already but then I learned from @nw66 that the radar star may not fit, so I got discouraged. The pic from @raudiace4 above also appears to have a radar star, so now I'm really curious about his experience installing it too.

I had my local trusted body shop install it, A&L in Palatine IL. I go to them for all my body work and aesthetic mod installs. They mentioned it was a easy and direct swap, took the bumper off, old grille out, and new grille in, great fitment and distronic/star transferred over easily.
looks good! Where did you get the badge from? The fitment of my badge isn’t oem like so I took it off. I want a OEM like badge solution.
I got from eBay doesn’t fit perfectly so on looking at the correct badge on the oem pan grill think we need to get direct from Mercedes! I’ll call them Monday and order one! Let you know when I have physicaly got one!
