Q&A

Q1: Does this include the Mercedes star?
A1: No. Reuse your original emblem (and radar-permeable star if equipped) or purchase separately.

Q2: Will it fit AMG-Line?
A2: Yes—select the AMG-Line/diamond style variant to match your bumper; standard twin-bar for non-AMG-Line.

Q3: My SUV has DISTRONIC—compatible?
A3: Yes. Transfer the radar bracket and use the hollow (radar-transparent) star. Verify ADAS operation after reassembly.

Q4: DIY friendly?
A4: Many owners do it at home. It’s a clip/bolt-in job but typically requires loosening the bumper upper edge. Protect painted surfaces while working.
