Q&A
Q1: Does it include the Mercedes star?
A1: No. Reuse your emblem or purchase separately (radar-transparent type for cars with DISTRONIC).

Q2: Will this fit my Elegance (small hood ornament) bumper?
A2: No. This is the “Big Star” grille for Avantgarde/AMG-Line bumpers only.

Q3: Compatible with front camera or radar?
A3: Yes—transfer the OE camera/radar brackets where applicable.

Q4: DIY friendly?
A4: Yes. It’s a clip/bolt-in swap; partial bumper loosening is recommended for safe access.
