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!!
@ProjectAuto thanks for your response. I told the seller prior to purchase that the car had distronic and the front camera, they said it would fit, bit it didn't. It seems the star badge without distronic should fit the grill, the one with distronic, such as mine, does not. I drilled a small hole in one of the clips on the back of the star badge to allow a cable tie through, and put cable ties through the other two clips that had holes, and managed to firmly mount the star badge. It sounds a bit ghetto, but the badge is now firmly mounted and looks normal from the front. Just a word of warning to those with distronic when installing a GTR grill. Thanks again for the excellent video.
This video i am sure saved me HOURS scratching my head on my CLS, bumper off grille fitted n back on within 2 hours, thankyou so much!
The jury is out on this one for me, I like them both

You might have to confirm with the seller of wherever you got yours from. Some use different grill stars from other models.

No but some people have
Where did you buy that grill? And do you think it’ll fit a 2014 cls550?
I got the grill at Elementotuning.com, if you contact them they probably have for your car
is the 500 same as the 550?
