To remove the start you just have to turn The whole star assembly toward the left and it should come out. You don’t even have to remove the bumper to do that.
Great transformation looking goooood! I actually purchased a c250 and have always kept my eyes on that grill you have and wondered if it can be done and there you go, you proved it. But just one question, I’ve heard that some people have technical problems when changing the grill? Like maybe with the camera or sensors? If so, was there any problems with yours, and how did you avoid that?
I have a c400 as well and replaced the grill. I was able to do it without removing the bumper though. it was a tight fit! I chose the diamond grill to look more OEM since the GT is only on the C63
Did mine today thanks for the video, my 2019 c300 was slightly different and the star was a bugger to get out took 2 of us about 4 hours could do it a lot quicker second time around, looks great on cheers
Yeah looks good I want one for my c450. But I’ll I can afford right now is the black hood emblem(oem) China. But I’ll get one eventually with a lighted star..
had this done on my 2018 c43 but my mechanic installed it without removing the whole bumper. Kind of surprised how he managed to get all those tabs in without removing the bumper like everyone else did
Hey Mike, just ordered the same grille for my C300. When you popped in the new grille in place, did you put back the mesh cover behind the grille as it originally came? Unless I missed it in the video.
@@mikesandve2564 gotcha. I was curious because I didn’t see it in the video and I can see on my grille as well, there’s a mesh like piece that probably part of the assembly that would need to be popped back behind that new facelift to avoid pebbles and other debris flying through the grill.
i have the c400 in white as well (same exact car as yours) and im torn between the diamond grille and this one.. this has been the hardest decision ever. lol the diamond is more classy looking, but this one has a more aggressive, sporty look. i just don't know.
j s lol I think it depends on the wheels u have as well. I wanted the black and white theme, if you have silver wheels the diamond might look better, but it does look more stock and less sporty I my opinion. I went through the same struggle hahaha
@@mikesandve2564 yea i have the silver amg 5 spoke wheels, but am planning on getting them powder coated black. i usually dont have a tough time being decisive, even when it comes to deciding which exact car, color, specs, performance mods i want. but these 2 fkn grilles have got me beat. lol
im going with this one since we have the AMG style body kit, so we can actually pull it off. can always change it down the road since price point isn't really an issue on these things. plus the diamond grille is more common, and i'd assume this one turns major heads right?
It is a kind of funny. The first thing I did was also to change the stock grill for an aggressive GTR grill. I removed the trunk 4MATIC and replaced it with a Mercedes oem AMG badge. Furthermore, I added two side AMG badges to the left and right fender sides. With your driving skills this car is a champ.
He’s not posing tho lmfao the c400 is very similar to a 2017-2019 c43 amg or a 2016 c450amg. They only have 30hp more than a c400 but that can be fixed with a tune, nice exhaust setup and some intakes, and you don’t need to do all that to get the 30hp you get the tune you deff pass the c450 c43 some people also say a lot about the snap crackle and pop that the amgs do welp it’s all on a software so when you get the c400 tune For an extra like 60-100 bucks they can add in the snap crackle and pop when you put your brand new exhaust system on your good to go. Before you call someone a poser do some research on the car the c400 is a entry level amg for the c class and the c450-c43 are just rebadged c400s. Have a nice day 🙌🏽
Javier Ramos hahahha it’s 1000% posing. It’s false advertising as an AMG. Sure, you can Do all those modifications but it still doesn’t make it an AMG at the end of the day. Why not just be happy w/ what you’ve got instead of adding fake shit onto the car? You’re not fooling anyone by doing that.
How would that be possible? You realize that these grills are exact fitments for Benz vehicles, depending what model. These grills are on the newer models. So how would a Buick be able to have this grill is the fitments are made only for the Benz?
sorry to say but i favor the original look of the Benz. That grill looks really bulky and has no lines to give that classy look of an expensive vehicle.
Thanks for this video. Planning on swapping out diamond grille on my c43 AMG but now i think it can be done at home on a weekend.
To remove the start you just have to turn The whole star assembly toward the left and it should come out. You don’t even have to remove the bumper to do that.
Dang. I love the look. I might get it for my c450
Really shows the star.

Hey man - you mind letting us know how you did it without removing the bumper
Good choice. I think everyone and their grandmother are installing the Panaramericana grille on their C300
@bartskomsom7313 how did you do it without taking it off?
Did mine today thanks for the video, my 2019 c300 was slightly different and the star was a bugger to get out took 2 of us about 4 hours could do it a lot quicker second time around, looks great on cheers
hey what did you notice different about the star to get it out?
@@gbaybay4919 the star wouldn't turn had to prise it out clips were a bugger
Just bought this car and am excited to do this. Putting a honeycomb grill on my previous audi was much more difficult
🎭
any risk to radiator since bigger vent hole on the grill? comapre to original
That does look slick, I must admit!! Might consider doing the same....
Thanks!
Can you list the tools and sizes needed? Just want to be sure I have everything before I start. Im guessing it needs star bits?
Can’t decided if I should get all black or chrome on white c63 not liking the black any ideas
Do you think it would be possible to put one of these on a 2016 C43 sedan?
Yeah looks good I want one for my c450. But I’ll I can afford right now is the black hood emblem(oem) China. But I’ll get one eventually with a lighted star..
KEITH H bro you can get a star light for $50 in Amazon. Very simple to install, just did it for my C450
Très beau !
Thanks!!
Hello ! Nice job ! Super look ! i would like try on ma MB w205 2014 .. you think it's compatible ?
🔥
You could also get an AMG red engine cover for $100 USD. In which I did. The Racechip RS is also a nice addition.
Did you feel a difference in the racechip ?
Not decided yet to install the chip.
morgen ga ik mijn c180 grill vervangen
looks great!! is the grill OEM ? fitment looks perfect
For the star, you can just twist it like opening a bottle of water from the front and it'll come right off. you dont even need to remove the bumper
Ashrin Mathur great tip
Great video bro. I don’t know tho.. not really feeling the vertical slots. I like the old grill.
had this done on my 2018 c43 but my mechanic installed it without removing the whole bumper. Kind of surprised how he managed to get all those tabs in without removing the bumper like everyone else did
amazing, I would be worried about snapping the pins
Did you disconnect battery?
Nice upgrade, makes the car look a lot more aggressive
Sulojan Suren thanks!!
Mike Sandve by any chance, do you have the link of where you bought the grill?
Sulojan Suren I bought this on eBay so I don’t have the link, but it was about $130 and if you search w205 gtr grill a lot will come up.
Hey Mike, just ordered the same grille for my C300. When you popped in the new grille in place, did you put back the mesh cover behind the grille as it originally came? Unless I missed it in the video.
Nice! I didn’t, mine wasn’t really a mesh it was a whole assembly that came out as one piece.
@@mikesandve2564 gotcha. I was curious because I didn’t see it in the video and I can see on my grille as well, there’s a mesh like piece that probably part of the assembly that would need to be popped back behind that new facelift to avoid pebbles and other debris flying through the grill.
@@Frkilicious did you order that mesh? I am in the same boat, I also don't want the radiator to show as easy.
can you give me the link, that one in your description isn't working
Same, I was not able to find it. I have the C400 with the glass star
Would it still work if I have the glass star emblem ?
It should, but I would ask the manufacturer before I purchased it
i have the c400 in white as well (same exact car as yours) and im torn between the diamond grille and this one.. this has been the hardest decision ever. lol the diamond is more classy looking, but this one has a more aggressive, sporty look. i just don't know.

Would this work the same if you have the illuminated star?
I have a GLK with this type of Grill, and the illuminated star and had no problem
Will this affect the sensors? It looks nice and I really want it...
Not all all!

Agree completely!
Moe Moe - That’s just fucking retarded... Get a real AMG if you want one🤡🤡
KING DEVIN yea hardcore posing... smh. Not fooling anyone

where did you order it from?
PRICO R.R just on eBay, $130
I think the bumper is not straight now. 😎
hey @mikesandve where did you buy this grill and will it fit the 2019 model?
I bought it on ebay and i think it will fit all 2015-19 C class, but you can easily search online to find one that will fit yours.
black out the splitter
Did you need a jack?
I didn’t, but it was a tight squeeze
Looks great, but what a cafuffle.
The other day I saw a Buick with the same grill.
How would that be possible? You realize that these grills are exact fitments for Benz vehicles, depending what model. These grills are on the newer models. So how would a Buick be able to have this grill is the fitments are made only for the Benz?

You did the star wrong, you can just twist the star out without even removing the bumper.
L-dubwesson yeah realized it during the process. The grill had to come out anyway.
Stop doing this 💀. I literally laugh when someone does this 😂😂
Cry about it 🤡
sorry to say but i favor the original look of the Benz. That grill looks really bulky and has no lines to give that classy look of an expensive vehicle.
It's actually the same grill they are now putting on the GTR, G-Class and some other AMGs, but its all good!
@@mikesandve2564 ye I like it....it just makes it look more sporty/mean which I like
