E Coupe Front Grill

[Jamief00]

Can anyone tell me how I can remove the front grill on my E-Class coupe?

I cracked mine, so would like to swap it with a replacement I got.

For the avoidance of doubt, I mean this bit:

Pull it out - pick a side to start from and just pull, held in by clips all the way around

Thanks! Does it come out upwards or towards the front of the car?

No worries and it just comes out towards you.

Might be easier if when you start and have got the first few clips out you put a cloth down between the grill and the clips to stop the grill flexing back into the clips as you move along to unclip the rest of it. Only takes a few minutes to change over, really simple job.

Thanks!

Just need to dig out my worklight so I can see what I'm doing tonight!

(expect an exasperated 2am post from me - "I BROKE MY GRILL")!
