Q&A
Q1: Does this include the Mercedes star?
A1: No. Reuse your original star (and radar-permeable star if your car has DISTRONIC) or purchase separately.
Q2: Will it fit my facelift CLA?
A2: Yes—this listing covers 2013–2019. Select the correct style to match your bumper (pre-F/L vs F/L, AMG-Line vs Standard).
Q3: Is a front camera supported?
A3: Most C117s do not use a front camera. If your car does, ensure the grille style has the proper opening/mount or reuse your bracket.
Q4: Can I install it at home?
A4: Many owners do. It’s a clip/bolt-in job but often requires loosening the bumper upper edge. Protect paint and follow torque/clip positions.
Q5: My car has DISTRONIC—anything special?
A5: Use the radar-transparent (hollow) star and transfer the radar bracket. After reassembly, verify ADAS operation.
