Excellent knowledgeable video, quite a bit of work just to change the grill

[@RustyCar]

I had to replace the front grille on my 2013 E350 sedan. I only had to undo the section of the plastic directly behind the grille underneath the hood/bonnet and put aside the hood opening cable. Undo a couple clips. Shimmy out the old grille, and reverse the process. Whole process took about 1 -1 1/2 hours but only because I’ve never done this type work before. If I was a professional or proficient, probably would’ve taken about 30 minutes.

[@nsnovicky]

Perfect video! Thank you very much for this. You explain everything very well and show every step which many don’t.🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@fabiencapon565]

you're the best, thank to you, i did it on my w212 2014. With your video as you say "Et voilà" ^^

[@MOB_AMG]

Amazingly detailed video thanks very much. It looks like a bit of a daunting job for a backyard DIY without a hoist!

[@MOB_AMG]

What size Drill bit did you use for the drilling of the rivets, and what size rivets did you use? Thanks again for an awesome video

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Just changed the grill with my father in law!

We are glad that this video help you. :)

Mercedes has made this so difficult, to deterred people from doing it , I must admit it looks nice , I will love this on my 14 plates w121 convertible.

[@projectblackbeats]

I agree with you

[@johnbarns3122]

car builders design cars to drive not to take a part lol thats on u

[@billyjamal1]

I was thinking of doing the same to mine... But like this one... Mine is also not the AMG... SE like this so for me..... It would make sense to change the complete bumper to the AMG spec and change the grill at the same time. Two birds.... One..... Bbbbumper!

[@projectblackbeats]

We didn't know that it would be so time consuming so here is the result. however i agree with you, it would be much easier..

[@shyqoooo]

How much would it take to replace the stock headlights of the w212r with the all LED ones?

[@Neddie2k]

The grill was not built to be removed, so much work men. Am so discouraged even though I like the AMG grill

[@projectblackbeats]

Yes I completely agree with you.. it was indeed a lot of work. We done it on the go so you wouldn't we didn't know that it's going to be that much effort put into it.. however now we know.. ,👌👌🤟

[@aimiliospretsai836]

I know a guy he change much quicker without taking out the full bumber

[@l-n-s356]

I have the same car but with the star grill.

[@sheihanavidin9809]

Great job, but the new Mercedes are so difficult that you have to remove almost everything.

[@hasanozbal7418]

How would you remove the front emblem? i want to replace with a black emblem?

[@uldza]

Good video boy's 💥💯💯

[@projectblackbeats]

Thanks 💯

[@oshayjackson2711]

For the star installation, was it was twist in? or did you push in from the back of the grill?

[@projectblackbeats]

Thanks for the question. We pushed it in from the front. Push it in roughly at 30 degrees angle and then turn it left (anticlockwise )back into place.. ;)

[@paulkelly9680]

Nice job! I have thought about doing this myself with my 2015 W212s - how many hours did it actually take?

[@ireturntoyou]

Hi, thanks for comment!!! It should take you somewhere between 1.5h - 2.5h👍

[@paulkelly9680]

@@ireturntoyou Great, thanks. even 2.5h sounds reasonable enough!

Imagine putting a new Maybach grill on a 90's C-Class. Same principle. Looks ridiculous.

All this for a plastic grill. You have to take off the wheel arch liners, bumper, electronics, undercarriage protectors and etc. Why is it not just, open hood, unscrew grill and screw in new grill? The grill is about 3ft by 1 ft. I'm not installing a lift in my kitchen.

[@projectblackbeats]

funny and yes i agree with you it was to much for a grill. :D

[@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO]

@@projectblackbeats I have to install the black (replacing the silver) front splitter. I've had three carbon fiber, identical to stock, black splitters sitting in the box for about 2 months. That is much easier but, I'm dressing it with plastic screw pins and etc. ;) Great stuff! The new Merc grill does look amazing but, unless I pay someone to do it, it "ain't" "gettin" done.

Can you use original mercedes badge with this grill ?

[@projectblackbeats]

to be honest we dont know. :)

[@MOB_AMG]

I'm half way through this job. I've got the bumper off, GTR grill in (with a bit of a gap at the bottom of the chrome). The Mercedes star badge does not fit the GTR grill. I've tried for hours, spun it every direction. The clips on the back are nowhere near touching and the star doesn't even want to fit in. Car is 2013 e400 with the "amg" 2 horizontal line factory grill. Did you have to get a new star badge (mine has distronic, so just plastic badge), or did you modify the original? Any tips greatly appreciated and I will attack it again and hopefully finish it tomorrow. What a nightmare of a job!!

[@MURATI1980]
