Will this AMG grille fit my CLS500?

My car is a 2005 CLS500
AMG grill is # A 219 880 10 83

Thanks, Colin.

No idea, but you've done well to find one - I think the AMG 3 fin grille transforms the CLS. I was gutted to miss out on one on eBay and then never see another!

Thanks, Colin.

it's A219, so it's a CLS part.

CLS Grille

It should fit - I am playing around with grilles at the moment and have had the 2009 grille on a 2006 model.

The top holes align perfectly, the clips on the lower part of the grille don't align with the lugs on the bumper bar. You have to partially cut the clips on the lower part of the two bar grille - then you are left with a small gap between the lower part of the grille and the top of the bumper bar which you can fix with some black rubber channel. Hope that makes sense ?

I am not sure if that part no is the AMG grille as it has silver mesh and the two horizontal bars are also silver - I believe that the mesh on the AMG version is black and I think that the two bars may be black as well behind the chrome strips . I can't seem to find a good photo of a late model (post 2009) CLS AMG grille ......

Yes but the AMG grill usually is fitted to an AMG bumper.
My bumper is not the AMG version, hence my original question.

Thanks, I'm not sure the part # I posted is the right one, might be a facelift AMG with 2 bars, I want the 3 bar AMG one.
Still looking for a definative answer though.
