If anyone writes here in the comment section saying that you can change the grille without removing the bumper. Believe me it’s not true. You will break several clips and the new one will not fit properly. In the end, it will also take more time.
That's true. I was painting my stock grill black and didn't have any references on how to remove the grill. So, basically I've yanked everything out breaking rivet mounts on the bumper. Had to put back with bigger rivets, big amount of glue and 3m tape. Anyways, it came out awesome but not removable anymore 😂
Yess it sucks doing it the (fast) way and is not even faster in the end. But found many comments and videos state is possible to change it that way. But that’s not right because you brake the car in the process.
You have significant experience, and I am one of your staunch followers, as I have a 2015 Mercedes-Benz E350 and benefited from these interesting videos. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for you.
So glad I watched this.... my 2010 e550 c207 coupe grill change was easy/no bumper removal.... recently got a 2016 e400 and I now can see it'll be WAAAY more work than I want to deal with to change the grill or star.. Leaving it stock
I have question,pls help me.I changed grill on my sl r231 facelift.I upgrade grill of 63 model and after that my parking sensors beep constantly, especially when braking and approaching another car in the queue
really nice video! Can you make a video for replacing speakers on rear deck? a lot of people are searching on forums for W212 tutorial for speaker change. Thanks!
Did you also consider a GTR/Panamericana grille? I also have a W212 (2014 e350 coupe with facelift). I was wondering which style grille would look the best on my car between GTR or E63? Thanks!
Actually is only there for the esthetic, no function in this car. Don’t recall any of that from the mb documents but I could look again. The front camera should be calibrated after removal but so far I have not do it and it working flawlessly as before.
@@MB212 i have mb 212 220cdi blutec 2015 production year,and hen i open user instruction stay in 360 and rear camera,now i don't know do i have alredy instalation only put camera or not
By the time your done replacing the grill, a certain mechanic somewhere in the world, would have changed the entire front suspension, oil and filters, flushed out and bleed the cooling system on a Toyota.

Could you make a video how to fix the broken wire of the glove box lightning for W212?

That's right, only in the pre-facelift you can replace the grille without removing the front bumper, it's fixed by plastic tabs like the W204.
Yess it sucks doing it the (fast) way and is not even faster in the end. But found many comments and videos state is possible to change it that way. But that’s not right because you brake the car in the process.
This is the best Mercedes grill replacement video I've seen. Clear, concise and informative and short in length. Thank you!
Best video on the front grill replacement I've seen.
Thanks comments like this make me continue grinding these videos. Try my best to show all steps.

This guys always top notch on 'How To' videos. Simply the best
Thanks 🙏
The sound of the OM642 is so nice. Reminds me of the OM501 truck engine. Awesome sound

Detailed and concise instruction. As usually. Excellent. Thanks a lot and move on.
What an enormous Operation For that grille 😱
It may look pretty complex and hard but actually is (only) around 2,5 hour.
Is this process the same for the 2016 eclass coupe c207 (facelift)
This video makes it look easy...Definitely getting this done !!!
Very handy video. You didn't forget about anything, perfect to watch, listen all clips sounds and follow it👍🏻
Thx
Great post - do know a reputable company that sells W212 AMG front bumper or W212 E63 front bumper?
Is there a part number for the chrome trim piece on the grill? 2:33
Hy...please tell me I own an E 250 CDI 4matic 2015....you changed the timing chain???
It must be changed or not ??
I like all your videos...
Amazing! Is it possible to install the classic grille similarly on my w212 facelift? I loved the look of the classic grille with the bonnet star.
This is my doubt too. Do I need to change The front bumper too?
LIKED. love the part numbers for the parts that inevitably get broke or lost
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Just changed the grill with my father in law!
I have question,pls help me.I changed grill on my sl r231 facelift.I upgrade grill of 63 model and after that my parking sensors beep constantly, especially when braking and approaching another car in the queue
Do you need to disconnect the battery negative? If so, why? Thanks for such an excellent video, im building up the courage to replace my grill
Don’t worry about it to much, but is good always disconnect it when removing the cables and so on to avoid short circuit!
@@MB212 thanks again. I thought it was maybe so the sensors don't need to be reset in the computer or something
good job and excellent explanation. it made your car like a new one
really nice video! Can you make a video for replacing speakers on rear deck? a lot of people are searching on forums for W212 tutorial for speaker change. Thanks!
Have made two videos of speaker changes for the doors. I probably not doing any change on this because I have the Harman system and is sounds great.
Hello i wanted to ask if the grill cover can be removed only?( the part which hold the emblem)
Just used this video to do mine. Prob the best on youtube, credits for the content 🤝🏻
How long did this take altogether? Just bought an E250 and what to change the grille. Thanks.
Did you also consider a GTR/Panamericana grille? I also have a W212 (2014 e350 coupe with facelift). I was wondering which style grille would look the best on my car between GTR or E63? Thanks!
E63 or Diamond grille imo
Hi, nice video . I see you have full laminate STAR at the grill. Do you have distronic? If so, do need any calibration after removal star?
Actually is only there for the esthetic, no function in this car. Don’t recall any of that from the mb documents but I could look again. The front camera should be calibrated after removal but so far I have not do it and it working flawlessly as before.
@@MB212 Thanks for your reply bro. If you don't mind, could you check it what about after removal bumper with distronic option?
Thanks
Yess I could check that later for you, don’t have access to my workshop computer right now!
what is the revet size?
Great job,can you please explain me how install rear camera
Depend what kind of install you thinking about and what command system you have in the car, could you specify more.
@@MB212 i have mb 212 220cdi blutec 2015 production year,and hen i open user instruction stay in 360 and rear camera,now i don't know do i have alredy instalation only put camera or not
If you don’t have camera from factory you need to do all cables, 360 camera is not a easy retrofit.
@@MB212 is that hard to do ?
Yess I believe is pretty hard. Lot of things need to be bought. Don’t know the full procedure!
The distronic badge is the oem? ! And sitting good in the aftermarket grill!?
Yess is OEM and fits good 👍
@@MB212 can you send me the code number of the badge!?
Bloody hell is it worth it ? 😂glad my e class coupe was a AMG line and has this grill
Great video 👌🏼🔥 Are those rivets oem from Mercedes?
I bought from my local hardware store, but the original is the same kind. Normal rivets are not preferable for this.
@@MB212 thanks 👌🏼
Very well done and shot
You make it all look so easy! Great vid!
Thanks! Swearing, dropping tools and hurting my hands etc are all cut out for the best viewing experience ☺️
Hey, i have do the same, but on the upper side you see the plastik with holes. Why is that so by me?
I don’t understand, which part in the video?
@@MB212 how can i send you a photo? Have you instagram or something
Yess send on Instagram (mb212_hobbymechanic)
Looking good! Nice job!
Real Nice video 😍
Nice video, but I loved the normal one instead the dark one
What was wrong with the old grill? Why did you replace it?
Nothing wrong but I liked to have this style!
Thank you
Excellent job, as always 👍
Would you send please a link to the rivet type you used?
Bought at my local hardware store, don’t know where you get them online.
@@MB212 Would be grateful if you can give some dimensions. Just to have them ready while the bumper is dismounted. Thanks in advance
I bought 4mm and 20mm long ones. I don’t know the length of the original but these worked good 👍
Great job... but why not diamond ?!!
Not into that style, fits better for C-class I think.
Great job💯🔥
Great job and well done .. 🙏🏻
Great work👌
Nice car end Nice Job
You are wonderful. I wish I had your skills. It would’ve saved me $2000 replacing a cracked grill at the ripoff body shop!
Give it a try! Just a regular guy with not much prior mechanical knowledge before I started this channel : )
Looks great!
😮f... that i was thinking to change for black , but is to much hassle, so I masked and painted in black
Very Nice 🤩🔥🤩🔥👍🏻
Great video. I am only commenting to say how much I hate mercedes as a technician. Those T30s were at an impossible angle for me and drove me nuts.
Nice instructions👏
Here again MR swimming man, any new videos soon? ☺️
Great Look

Why remove the WHOLE damn bumper?? What PITA.
Thank u!
That’s a lot of steps to just replace a grille.

Stay off them drugs.
B...E...A.....UTIFULLLLL :)))
Lol that’s not an e63
It is I put E63 emblem on it!
tbh, didn't find any difference, XD
