Hahaha 🤮front looks good, but the back look’s hiddious, what the hell are you doing😂😂😂

[@jensz9360]

Grill looks good, the wing sucks and sticks out too much, doesnt look like it belongs on the car and is not subtle at all...especially from the side. The spray painted wheels add another dimension of crap to the car. Should have just left them alone.

[@izroda84]

That rear spoiler looks so not in place there. Maybe small lip will match with the rear lights and those big taillights if you tint them.

[@judginglionn7056]

Very Nice grill. BUT the horizon lines they ruin the design! Find a way to remove it or buy one without it. Ensures that the background is not visible! It ruin the car! with something metallic black, just like the original benz. 😉😎💪

[@andreagiron5032]

Nice video. I order the same rear spoiler for my e class to. And I will be putting a new side skirt or lip as well . Maybe I'll send you the final pics.

Is distronic working with new mask?

[@MarcoCerqueira]

I had to change the symbol to a distronic one.

[@zelezo777]

Awesome job broo, Can you link here distronic working star?

[@rolandolah4680]

@@MarcoCerqueira Hi! does the distronic work properly with the new grid?

[@MarcoCerqueira]

Okay so here is the trick to make distronic work with a different grille. The material used in the shield part of the grille is what allows the distronic to work. So if you remove that part from the oem grille and zip tie it behind the new grille (and in front of the distronic unit). It will allow distronic to work with the aftermarket grille…good luck

[@electechchannel3739]

Got the same grill, any issues with the large gaps in it? I can imagine large debris getting through and damaging the cooler behind it

[@MarcoCerqueira]

I get the oddball leaf but not as bad as the OEM grille on my Audi. That thing is love a vacuum cleaner

[@nerd438]

Hi, you have distronic, grill is version without distronic. Everything works fine?

[@MarcoCerqueira]

Actually I started getting Distronic error messages the next day. I replaced the emblem with a Distronic version. I had to glue it in because the tabs to snap in place were in a different location.

[@nerd438]

Wow thanks, the oem cover distronic fits fine? I mean diameter of „star”

[@MarcoCerqueira]

@@nerd438 yes, but i had to use epoxy to hold it in because the tabs don't like up

[@adilmurtazazuberi8872]

Can you share the Distronic Star Article number please

[@MarcoCerqueira]

Just go on eBay and search “Mercedes distronic star”, you’ll get a bunch of options.

[@derrickchung5988]

that spoiler is too much. I would've went with a smaller one

[@dwighthoram953]

what is the code for your paint job? I have a black w212 like yours but my paint looks dull. Thanks in advance

[@MarcoCerqueira]

It’s Mercedes gloss black 040

[@garyneedham2287]

Are they any other options for new grill for the w212 please

[@MarcoCerqueira]

There are a ton of option of eBay. If you have distronic then you are limited.

rrrrriiiiiiccccceeeerrrrr!

[@autotrimmers6353]

Is this car expensive to maintain?

[@MarcoCerqueira]

In my experience the engine and transmission have been bulletproof. The only failure so far has been the front air shocks(replaced at 60k miles), one of the rear air shocks at 90k. The clock spring failed at 100k. These were the only failures. The only other items I had to replace were wear items: front lower control arms and drop links. Replaced the transmission and engine mounts. I also have excessive brake wear in the front which seams to be common with the v8 models. All in all it has been one of the most reliable cars I have owned. 107k miles and still going.

Good job

[@MarcoCerqueira]

Thanks
