The glc is the perfect car in my opinion. And my dream car.
Small car with the 350 engine. so not that bad on gas but also light enough that the power is pretty good! The only drawback if if you want to get tall adults in the back seat. But honestly, that hasn't ever come up for me.
Thanks for the tips 👍 saved me so much time
Thank you!
Excellent video and info!
Gongrats!!!
Hi Laud - tnks for the great video!! It was very helpful, for mounting of diamond grill on my 2017 glc350e, with camera. I can confirm there are some challenges to get the old grill out, but fully possible without too much hassle. I spent 3 hours, working slowly and carefully. You have covered most of the details very well :-) i found it helpful to loosen the two body screws next to the headlights, on top of the frame. That made it far easier to loosen the scoops on each side, as well as mount them back. My car has camera, i made a small whole in the grill (unvisible from outside), used a plastic strip to fasten the fuse holder on the backside, next to the star... Thnks again for your inspiration to succeed!!
Most welcome, Svein!
Thanks for the video. Did the install and this truly helped.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for good info... was super difficult because of the tight space... arms all all scratched up but got the job done!
Most welcome, Mike!
You all probably dont care but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Brody Odin Instablaster :)
Hey atleast it’s not the car that scratched 😂 jkjk
Thanks for the tutorial. Just changed mine last night. Hahha putting back is much easier thou!
very good tutorial !!!
Thank U 🙏🏽 Very Helpful
Hi did you insert all the air scoop clips back on with the Diamond grill (3 side cips on each side I think) or have you just managed to keep it on position with out actually clipping it back on? what does the air scoop do, is it critical to put them back on? thank you!
great video! it will help me a lot. ordered the same car and the same grill!!
oktay dursun You're welcome!
Well done and thank you.
Just finished installing a GTR-style Panamericana grill on my wife's '19 GLC in about an hour thanks to your excellent tutorial! The only issue I had was that I had to trim just a bit off the top grill mounts to get the long top deflector piece to sit flush when I reinstalled the push fasteners. Thanks!
Most welcome!
And here I am watching this video for last 3 years and not mustering courage to change it myself.
Do you know if this will work on a 2018 glc43 amg. I want to put the new verticle grill. I have the diamond one on already
I want the same grille that was used in the video, WITHOUT the camera Hole and the Flat Star already mounted, for a 2018 Mercedes GLC 300.
Hi, Can just tell me how did you remove the tree clips that are together on the rign and the left because I removed everything till the tree clips that I speak about and I couldn't never removed it..but takes a l9ng time to do it because it's not really easy...please answer because clips part is not shown in the video.. ragards
you mean the 'air scoops'? You have to use a long flat head screwdriver and then push it out. It took me a long while too...
Thx 👍👍👍
Good choice
Great job 👍Greetings from Poland
Can I so the something with my 2015 S63 coupe to the new 2018 new Panamericana grille on the S63 AMG Coupe
Hi, loved your video and would like to know where you got the Diamond grille used in the video. i have a 2018 Mercedes GLC 300, and want to change it out to the diamond grill but cant find one, that does NOT have the camera hole and also comes with the three mounting arms on the top and last the star in the middle already mounted. Just like the grille you used in the video. Thanks
You can get it from your nearest dealer or search for it on Taobao or Aliexpress in Asia.
Thanks for sharing. Any recommendations who/where to order the grille from?
You can get it from your local stockists. In Singapore, C&C or Elebest are some options...
🎉🎉thanks
Have the exact same vehicle in the exact same color. And I’m thinking of replacing the grill with the AMG style vertical grille. Where did you get your diamond grill?
You mean the GLC63 grille? You can check with your local dealer. If you're in Singapore, you can check with C&C or stockists like Elebest.
Go on eBay there’s countless ones to choose from
Hello.
Whre can I buy the grill for GLC, without front camera?
Thanks.
Can you do this with a grille that has a illuminated star. My 2017 w213 I had the star installed but would like to install this AMG look grille.
That will take more work cos of the electrical connections involved. Not sure about that.
I will definitely do this mod. Wanted to know where can I get the updated headlights? I have the stock headlights. Can anyone assist?
very nice.. now i'm thinking to update my grille to the AMG63s grille...
Thnks! Go for it!
not as skill as you!!! more mods please :-)
thanks for video , question you car have brake sensor are front back to the Logo?
Most welcome! The parking sensors are on the bumper, and not behind the logo.
Hi - Where did you buy the grill and emblem to fir for GLC 300 4 matic ? It seem a the emblem for this grill is different from original which has a casing
Mine's a GLC200. You can try your nearest Merc dealer. The emblem is the 3D flat version.
I need your help please - I want to install the Panamericana grill for my GLC, but I have a question: Does the Panamericana grill model with 360 degree camera fit for my GLC which does not have a 360 degree camera?
I'll afraid I can't help you out there since I don't have one. You'll have to ask the stockist.
Thanks for the video sir, very clear indeed! I'm thinking about changing mine but was told it'll interfere with the distance and/or other sensors of the car. Did you find that was true and affected some of the computerised features in the car? Also, where can we buy a diamond grille?
Hi, it doesn't interfere with the sensors at all. You can get the grille from your nearest Mercedes dealer or via online sites like Amazon, TMall etc.
Do you know if it's the same procedure on the new Mercedes C-Class W205?
Not sure abt that... this is for the GLC...
Nice Work!!! how much u buy the diamond grille????? the diamond grille is the most beautiful one
The diamond grille can be bought from stockists or the dealer for abt USD 1000. Yeah, its really nice!
Living Life LAUd hey, I’m curious as to the pricing of the grille, as when I looked on amazon and eBay the grille is usually around $150 US dollars, but you’re saying it’s $1000? Is that due to you purchasing it in Singapore (I believe you said), directly from a Mercedes dealer, or would the ones from amazon be low quality or something? Thanks 🙏🏼 !!!
the grids all come at the same size for all the latest C / GLC /GLA / E class models?
Nope. You have to buy the one specific for your model.
The grill you bought does it fit the SLC 43AMG?
Romeo Uddin You mean the GLC 43? That already comes with the diamond grille, I believe, but the grille should fit as well.
Where did you get that grille
Hi, is the same procedure on the new Mercedes C-Class W205? any difference? Regards
Not sure about that...
Will this be the same process for the GLA?
Not sure abt that, bro. Likely to be different since the engine bays are different.
Do u know if this is the same method for a c class ?
I'm not sure but i think there would be some differences...
How much did you pay for the grill and star included
Now install the panamericana grill :D
Hahaha!!! i'll think about it...
You'd be the first to upload such a video too tbh :o I'll watch it.
Where did you order that diamond grill? I have been looking for a legit one for my 2022 GLC 300 4matic.
You can order from your merc dealer.
Hi there
Is it same installation and removal method with my 2014 e200?
Not sure about that...
Please do the same with the panamericana grill!
No plans at the moment, but i wouldn't rule it out!
Hi I have a GLC 300 2020. Does anyone know how to take out the emblem in order to replace with illuminated star. Not sure if it pops out by prying the front face or do we have to take the grille out and pop the clips from the backside?
You just have to twist the logo and it pops out
Can you reuse the emblem from the original grill?
Yes, you can!
Is the 2018 glc the same ?
While fixing the grill, front grill camera has to be removed or unplugged?
Mine doesn't have the front camera
Can you reuse the chrome on a another grill does it snap in and out
You mean the merc star? Yes, it can be used on another grille with the same size.
Do you have a link where you purchased this grill for?
i got it from a local dealer. But you can maybe search AMAZON for it.
Living Life LAUd can I ask what was the price, so you have the paperwork with the item number on it. Please let me know so I can contact my dealer. Thanks.
You can get it in Singapore for abt $1500. You just have to ask your dealer for the GLC SUV diamond grille. I'm sure they would know since they're a Merc dealer.
Thanks
Amigo, where is that grille made?
I wouldn’t touch a made in China grill with a 10 foot pole
what if there is a sensor on the grill and a led light for the logo?
There's grilles that can accomodate the camera and additional sensors. You'll have to select those.
You should have shown all steps
CAN I USE THIS INSTRUCTION FOR W205 C CLASS AS WELL????
I'm not sure, I'm afraid..
Where did you buy your Diamond grille from?
You can get it from your nearest dealer or via shops like Aliexpress, Lazada, Tmall.
It would’ve been helpful if you had of shown how you took the air scoops out, this is the part that I’m stuck on and can’t get past. Did they just slide up after releasing the catches?
Yes, after you release the catches, you can pull them upwards and out.
@@LivingLifeLAUd how tho. How
@@LivingLifeLAUd how am I supposed too reach it
Hi, is it the same procedure with a panamericana grill?
Not sure abt that...
Yes
My diamond grill doesn’t come with the mbz logo. I was told I could use from the original grill logo. But how do I take the original mbz logo and attach to the new grill?
You can just twist and take out the old logo and put it in the new grille.
@@LivingLifeLAUd will try that this weekend. thank you bro
...over here...
Please write down the part number of new grille as well as the price
Thank you
You just need to go down to your nearest dealer and ask for the diamond grille for the glc. I don't recall the part numbers and exact price...
Are that same remove with gle350?
Not sure abt that...
where do you buy grille? Thank
You can get it from your Merc dealer.
One of the clips to release the original grille is split into 3... all 3 need releasing at the same time... how?
You can do it one at a time using a long flathead screwdriver.
You should mention that it‘s impossible to reinstall the airscoops, because their is absolutely no space for your hands. I installed the panamericana grill with your instructions but didn’t manage to reinstall them.
Nope, mine are installed back where they were. Maybe my hands are smaller... ;)
I am looking to replace my emblem with the illuminated star. Do you know know I can connect the wires?
Sorry, can't help on that.
Will this work with GLB250?
I doubt so...
I’m defeated, 2017 glc 300 and can’t for the life of me figure out how you can get to the air scoop latches to get them off
It took me ages too, you have to use a long flat head screwdriver and a torchlight to see exactly how to pry it open. Keep at it and it'll come out. Good luck!
At the local MB dealership they told me the complete front-bumper needs to be removed to get the diamond-grill installed..... It seems not to be neccesary in this video, why ??
Gunnar Aasbø Maybe they just wanna do it their way... but it isn't necessary.
Living Life LAUd Okay... Can it be because of the 360deg camera ?
As I could see this video shows a car without camera in the grill...
+Gunnar Aasbø there's also a grille with the 360 deg camera socket. But maybe there's some wiring that needs to be done so the bumper must be taken out.
Because it's easier to remove bumper than do it this way, less stress and is the proper way of installing the grill without possible damage to parts
@@LivingLifeLAUd I can confirm the camera/wiring does not make a difference; the installation is similar as without camera. Just look at the video by Laud, work slowly - and smart... and find a nice way to mount the cameras fuseholder .
Hi! Do this process works for the newer 2020-2022 model? Someone try this in a newer model?
Not sure abt that...
Middle light need to light up
I’m having trouble getting the air scoop out
Yes, that's the toughest part for me as well. You need to use a flat head screwdriver to release the catches then move the scoops up and out.
how do u remove snap claps specifically pls
It's a little hard to explain via messages but I used a long flathead screwdriver to push the snap clasps out of its slots.
Mag sein, dass es so geht. Aber ich mußte immer die Stoßstange demontieren.
Nice video, where did you buy it?
You can get it from your nearest Merc dealer.
@@LivingLifeLAUd do you have the part number for this grill?
does this works for GLB?
Not sure about that though...
would this fit the GLK 350 2013 ?
I don't think so, Laura. It's specifically for the 2017/2018 GLC SUV.
i found a company that does GLK diamond grilles but thank you !!
Where did you purchase this?
Adi Rosli You can get it from any of the Mercedes stockists or your local dealer.
Why don’t they help you install it?
I love to DIY!
what is the price of this car?
Its upwards of USD 200,000 here in Singapore.
loan? or full pay 👍
It's entirely up to you! Hehe...
Depending on year and package can be from 25000 to about 90000 usd
The video actually does not show the complete steps to remove the grill. Especially when trying to remove the 2 plastic parts (left and right) in the video they suddenly are removed and the new grill has been placed. I am sure there were needed more steps to remove the two plastic parts before being able to remove the original grill . So please people when uploading anything then just be clear and include also the most important and difficult steps. This should not just be a to show off or to perform personal needs.
All the steps are there actually. As mentioned, you need to unclasp it and then wriggle it out. Its tough, but you need to do it to understand how its done... Seems the others have no problems...
@@LivingLifeLAUd Hi how do you get to the clasps that hold the scoops to the grill. Thanks
I agree with u because I tried to do it but the real hard part is to remove the 3 claps on the right and the left. Really dificult and this misding part shoul be shown in the video..
Please show how to release these clasps
I just did this swap on a 2017 C300. It is definitely not the same setup as this!
Thank God I own Japanese cars that actually have good Engineering in mind so that people can work on their own cars with ease not like these complicated European piles of trash!
Those are not screws.
How do you remove the two air scoops it is not shown?.
Its a little tough, you have to use a long flat head screwdriver to push the clasp through.
@@LivingLifeLAUd how and where do you get access to the clasps
You can access it from the top. It's at the sides nearer the headlights.
@@LivingLifeLAUd thanks but where from, there is no access from the top?
@@501fender Its not actualy very difficult to remove scoops. There is video from some russian guy showing it. I loosed bolt that keep grill, than released top clip that keeps scoop, than lift scoop top part where small pin is. After it just slightly force scoop inwards and it should go out. Scoop is quite flexible and will not break. My problem is double clip on right and left side that keep grill in place. Cant take off that one :)
In my opinion, the original grill with 2 side bars look better than diamond grill. seem aggressive and manly , it suits for an SUV
I think both look pretty cool!
