Q&A
Q1: Does this grille include the Mercedes star?
A1: No. Reuse your emblem or purchase separately (radar-permeable type for DISTRONIC).

Q2: Will an AMG “diamond” grille fit my non-AMG bumper?
A2: Yes—if you choose the AMG-Line version that matches your bumper. GLC63 AMG uses model-specific grilles.

Q3: Front camera and radar compatibility?
A3: Supported—transfer your OE camera and radar mounts.

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