Diamond grille

[Big Gordy]

Hi guys
I bought a diamond grill from China to swap onto my E220 coupe 2016. Any instructions how to remove old grille without damage just in case would be terrific.

Funny that - I really dislike the diamond grille on my car - wish I could get the Pan America design like they have on the AMG GTs

Really easy to remove, couple of bolts and the rest clips in, plenty of tutorials on YouTube.

It’s the later model from the one in your picture. It’s facelift I think. My last car was a e350 on a ten plate was easy to remove. Not really had a chance to give this one a good look. Any links to tutorials

I would imagine it’s probably not a lot different to your 10 plate.

Looks different but I’ll have s go and see. Just don’t want to do any damage in case I have to go back to original grille

Would not the new grille have holes, clips, lugs and recesses where it attaches to the car you can marry up for a clue??

 

[Big Gordy]

Good one Keefysher I never thought of that. And I’m an engineer
shame on me

How do you find the 220, after having a 350 ?

 

[Big Gordy]

A bit slower obviously but I’m travelling 54 miles every day to work and as long as I keep the head I can get 60mpg. This one has more toys being premier plus. All in I just love Mercedes. It’s my 6th

Grille changed. It was fairly easy. Take top section off then loosen support bracket then use a plastic trim removal tool to easy everything off. 30mins old one off new one on

I will take some pics before and after at weekend if weather settles.
Got grille for £119 but had to pay £21.63 import duty to customs thru post office. I think it looks the business

Here a pic before and after. Really simple to change, remove top assembly and loosen support bracket then ease the lugs out with plastic trim tool

Like it! Diamond grill definitely better.

 

[Big Gordy]

Thanks SmartAmg I think it make a big difference

Do you have a front camera and radar behind the star? If so was there any issues in fitting?

that grille is Gorgeous! although it does not "follow" the rest of new Merc grilles, specifically speaking after the 2000.

I prefer the Panamericana grill as well...
