Вставка

- Hy Guys,
I've bought the Panamericana grille from AliExpress and it cost just $120, you can find it in black or with chrome elements like this one.

You can find the same Panamericana grille for Mercedes C Class, S Class, CLA, and other Mercedes models.
The car from the video is a 2017 Mercedes #E350 #E-Class #9GTronic #W213 #PanamericanaGT #Kühlergrill you can find the same grill for C Class.
In order to remove the front grill, you need to remove the Bumper first, you can do it alone but is better to have some help when you take of and when you put the bumper back in place.
It took me almost 2 hours to do the disassembly and installation of the Bumper and Grille.

Suddenly I’m more than happy with my existing grill! 😎👍🏻
when I took my bumper off to replace mine I said "I should have just been happy with my diamond grille" lol
Exactly. I was this close to buying this better looking grill. I'll install a lift in my garage, lift it, take 30 minutes to dismantle electronics, break and lose screws and plastic pins, install it, put everything back together perfectly and make sure it works and doesn't cause huge problems ... then I'll pay someone about 400 dollars to install it 'better. [Plus the cost of the grill] If I could snap my fingers and thr GT grill goes on...maybe. That "ain't" happening anytime soon. Nothing like putting a new grill on an old car. Yes, it looks better but, you aren't fooling anyone and it takes away from the car's original intent. I'm still debating an Alcantara wheel and the huge problems that implies. Airbag, electronics, function and other. Maybe a stitched on wheel with carbon stickers or carbon plastic plate. That's bastardizing the vehicle. I remove everything when I get an A or B service as to not embarrass myself. It's not an AMG (-I own one as well-) and it's not a new car/drift car. You pick up your mother's medicine and mutant girlfriend in most owner's cases. 😀
Thinking if I switch out the wheels I'll do this same time. I can't seem to find a grill w thr AMG logo. Is that separate? 🤔
@@UhhhhhnooOOo00oO I don't really think it's about fooling anyone. I just think it looks better than the diamond grill.
@@SRMB1 I get it. You're all psyched about doing this. Don't cherry pick what you want to reply to. It does look great but, you go through all that for a front grill. Not what I'll be wasting my time on. If it slid out and maybe a couple of plastic bolts, maybe. I was disgusted by just removing the splitter and replacing the three sections with body colored ones. That was about 200 steps less than the front grill. Sure, if you could snap your fingers or even have this take an hour. I'd rather pay someone to do it. Or own a new E63 S. (Which I do) Read my first line, "this better looking grill". Well done by you. I like driving my older E350 more. I mentioned it looks better later on in my comment and that I wanted to do it. Do your thing and be so glitter sparlky Unicorn about it.
Thank You ! Now I dont want to replace my grill anymore.
Same!
Guys choose the GLOSSY BLACK variant !!!. Not this variant
Lol!!!! Very discouraging!!!
Fr.
My exact thoughts!
Thanks I just changed my grill to a diamond grill and you guys helped me out alot, for those that think its hard, its really not , It took me about 2 hours to swap and I did it in my garage. It was just as simple as the video shows, but I guess you must be handy with tools and be mechanically inclined first
Omg!!! I didnt know to replace the grille need to remove a million screws.
:))
You don't, it's just the video rushes around alot and makes it seem more. For a slower paced version that tells you where all the screws are look on my channel.
Yes. This is not a Toyota.
@@pierrefourie5753 but with amg line better like he sad
theres about 30 of them
This seems like a 1.5 hr job. Nice work on the install video, guess I’m keeping my stock grille. I should have done this during lockdown (covid-19)
To remove the w204 grill it takes 2 Minutes.. This is like 5hour job if you cant lift the car up
I have a lift in my upstairs bathroom. It would take 30 seconds if you had the Mercedes F1 team being assisted by an official Mercedes service department coupled with FCP Euro handing one the tools. (Really takes about 10 minutes plus the time to lift the car. Plus that 20 dollar lift? I guess those are free. Just to make an older car look like the 'better grill of the new one.
Pulled the whole care apart to intall grill. Thats wild
I was excited when I saw the video. I really do like the Panamericana Grille and the video length made me think this may have been an easy swap. Thanks to UA-cam and your video I am now convinced that I'll be keeping my original grille. VERY nice upgrade though.
why not pay the mechanics to do it or something?
@@WhittyPvP Not much really to do with the time or effort or tools as I have those covered and I actually trust myself to do it better than someone else. It has more to do with all the clips that could break or are already bent on an older vehicle even with the utmost care. Slight alignment issues arise and become larger rattling ones. I admit to not being too eager to tamper with the factory-fit, though so this is just me saying that a relatively simple clip on replacement is fine...too much beyond that and I tend to stay stock.
It is a very nice looking upgrade though.
Good job. Looks like an hour to two for the first time person doing it. The car looks 2x better with the new grill.
Does anyone know how much $ this would cost to have done?? I want to have the same thing done to my 2018 E class.
The car looks much more sexier. Good job
I think that it gives an aggressive look
@@DFCGarage yes absolutely.
Gibt es in Rotterdam, Niederlande, ein Geschäft, in dem das gleiche Zubehör im Video installiert werden kann? Wenn ja, geben Sie bitte die Kontaktinformationen an. Danke vielmals
I want a 3 point star that spins ? Like a fan.
I don't understand all the hate, this looks great!
I'm half way through this job. I've got the bumper off, GTR grill in (with a bit of a gap at the bottom of the chrome). The Mercedes star badge does not fit the GTR grill. I've tried for hours, spun it every direction. The clips on the back are nowhere near touching and the star doesn't even want to fit in. Car is 2013 e400 with the "amg" 2 horizontal line factory grill. Did you have to get a new star badge (mine has distronic, so just plastic badge), or did you modify the original? Any tips greatly appreciated and I will attack it again and hopefully finish it tomorrow. What a nightmare of a job!!
It looks gorgeous... I also like that sparkly diamond grille from the new A Class.
Who would of thought a $108. Grill would make that much difference
It looks beautifull with that grill totaly diff in my opinion :)
Good god I had to stop after a few minutes. The camera jumps around so much my eyes were hurting. Not sure about the different look, it makes the car look narrow?
Hi thanks great video! It really helped and I did this for my 2017 s213. It looks great, but now one of my parking sensors keeps going off constantly. Any thoughts?? Everything looks connected correctly.
Looks VERY good.. Those wheels gotta go tho.
If I have the camera on my stock grille rn I just bought the aftermarket grille can I use the same camera ?
Yes, you just need to remove it from the old one and mount it on the new grille✌️
I have a question! Do u still have the same visibility of your front camera?
Yes the same angleview
Great job!! I need your help, I wanted to know if it is possible to replace the grill and leave the chrome frame unassembled, because I want to paint it in black and then insert it without having to disassemble the entire bumper again. ¿ Is this possible or I have to assambled frame and grill all together in the same time?
By the time the video had finished, I have already changed the grill on my w166 gle and tidied up all my tools and watched the rest of the video
😂😂
Das Video ist Super ,da nach habe ich es super hinbekommen 2,5 Stunden :)
WOOOOOOOOW, DAMN THAT IS SUPER GORGEOUS, MERCEDES NEED TO EMPLOY YOU, UR NEW BENZ LOOK SO DELICIOUS WITH THAT PANAMERICAN GRILL:😍😍😍😍😍
:)
Thank you for the perfect video.
I'm curious about the size of the rivet.
Mersi
Man... i appreciate the effort and the cautios work but that new grill makes the car look tacky somehow. Keep up the good work though!
super detail ! Thanks for sharing. So, though the PANAMERICANA is easily available here ... im having a 3rd thought of getting one and changing it by myself, as we're in 3rd Lockdown and Wife ain't going to help, even by watching ...
It looks nice in real life not in video or picture
Great video!
Did you had to drill out rivets on the old grill before removing it?
Beautiful job guys !! I’ve been able to find the grille but not the bigger Mercedes emblem (star) anywhere... did you buy that separate ? Do you know where I can get it ? Or which to get ? Thanks !! Keep up the good work
Hi cooles Video, Hammer bist aus Bodensee bin auch aus Kreis Bodensee. Tolle Arbeit Gruß serkan
I just bought myself a GTR grill for my merc w213 and I’m about to send it to my neighbour workshop. My mechanic need to know what kind of blind rivets needed for the operation? Does anyone know!? Would be great if anyone could share! 😊👍 Thanks in advance!
Take a look inside your package because when I’ve ordered my grill they sent me the rivets also.
How do you take the camera out on these
is the changing of the grille of the W205 c class easier, or is it similair like this one?
Looks good.. but video made me dizzy af
Grill does look fine with the tires, but I have to say I prefer the original grill.
Hello.
Can you give me the address so that I can buy the grill please.
Cordially . Francis
Top gemacht jungs. 1A
You can change the executive grill to panamericama? Or just avangarde ?
You're an extremely beneficial web video; could not make it without ya!
Hi, ist ihre Werkstatt in Konstanz? Ich wollte für meinen W213 dass Front grill auch tauschen.
Grüße
Is there a spot on the grill for the AMG logo?
Where I can order the same grill please and how much cost ;;;;
Thanks for the video, looks great! What is the tool you're using at 5:40 to attach the new grille?
You welcome, is a rivet gun, the new grill will have new rivets and you need to drill the old ones and put the new ones with a rivet gun. You will find a rivet gun on eBay for 10$
Where is your shop located very interested in my car getting some work done.
Just had this installed and I love it! I am having radar sensor issues now. Any advice?
Take it off and install it again.
Daniel Yohey haha you deserve these problems
Fredo Bull lol what?
Daniel Yohey did you get your radar sensor fixed? was it because installing new grille?
could you explain what is the difference between the 2 aliexpress links you have posted ? regards
The Camera Placement is Different
Why would they make it this complicated? Removing the 204 grille was so easy. Should be like that on ALL classes.
Wieviel würde es bei dir Kosten den Grill zu wechseln?
Sorry no go ..... best is Orginal....
looks like its a quick job only takes 9 min 25 sec.
Great vid but no way I'm doing this myself. VW grills are much easier to replace :)
Leute wie bekomme ich den Stern im Kühlergrill raus bei w213 mit Distronic plus ? Mein Folierer hat’s nicht rausbekommen

What about quality? Chrom is ok, don't scratch or crumbles?
The grill is in perfect condition after 6 months lets hope stays like that
Fabulous!!!
Any idea size of the pop rivet needed??
Not worth the hassle, was very close to buying a new grill thanks God I saw this video
Alhamdulillah
Nice, i have done it to! But i have one question, did you have any problem with the front camera afterwards? I installed the new grille in summer 2018 but about 2 months ago i got problem with the front camera. Did it happen to you aswell? Thank You
No problem until now. Check the camera plug maybe you didn't install correctly
DFC Garage . Hi again, i didnt have Any problem until few months ago. I had it without problem for maybe 6 months.
Did your car already come with the camera?
Hi could you please tell me if the sensor needs re calibrating after re install???
I meant the Mercedes Benz star sensor that is removed?
No as it's only the cover for the radar box underneath which isn't moved during the swap
Great video, what alloy wheels do you have on this car, are they Mercedes stock or after market....
Mercedes stock wheels
@@DFCGarage Cheers, are they just US stock can't find them anywhere UK, do you have part/model number.... get my grill done tomorrow... (17.06.20) thanks for part number, video how to, big thanks, more please on anything W213
...Hi you wouldn't happen to know the part number or where to get your style MB Grille Star, there's loads out there but I don't want to buy the wrong one.... Thanks
Where in Germany are you? How much do you charge to do this job?
I did that just for a friend.
Hey just wondering cause I'm installing gt grill for cla,is it the same way to remove cla bumper?
Hello, almost the same underneath is a little different in rest is the same
@@DFCGarage thank you so much!
Would th grill fit a 2014 cls550?
Search on eBay panamericana CLS 2014 and if you find something and is written in the description that the grill fits to your cls your lucky:)
Kann man die frontschürze wie bei der amg line version machen lassen oder geht das nicht ?
Ich habe nicht probiert :(
Ja
Hast du deine Werkstatt zufällig in der nähe von Konstanz ?
Ja, ich habe ein Folierung Werkstatt mehr Info unter www.dfc-Folienwerk.de
DFC Garage was würde mich der spass kosten den grill bei dir einbauen zu lassen hab genau den gleichen grill der unterschied ist nur das ich amg line habe
Suchen die Telefonnummer in meine Website und rufen sie mich an
@@flamurgafuri7305 mit amg line sieht das sxheisse aus
eray heyno hab es bei mir eingebaut glaub mir sieht sehr geil aus
Hi,
You have make this Video quik and i enjoy it if you make this Video slowly. and be sure i can see better everythings you have make it
Thank you
Doesnt even look good, would look nicer if the E- Class have had AMG- Line
I say diamond grill
You are high. It looks 10 times better
Blair Samott you are high. It doesn’t!
Respect!
If only ur car had the AMG Line/ pack for the wheels and skirts
Poor video.. how about explaining with close up views where the bolts for the bumper by wheels are and how many?
Damn do you have a video for a CLS550 2014?
No I don’t.
@@DFCGarage thank you for the reply, what rivet gun is that I think I'll need to order it to swap the grill for my cls.
Mr Maric here is a cheap rivet gun with rivets www.ebay.de/itm/353120774050
I was thinking of doing this to my merc, but this video really scares me off.
#FlawlessGang
I will be installing one on my GLK very soon
I’m all for making this beauties even more beautiful but from a regular production Benz to a diamond is a good idea but…. the panamericana? I don’t think so cause as we all know only the top AMG’s use that grille!! The 63S are usually the models the have it!! And remember is a thin line between making your Benz look cool and ridiculous!! Is just my opinion!!!
Kann man bei euch das einbauen?
Leider nicht
Why you do that it has not even AMG line
All that to put a grill on
Where to get that front grille emblem ?
Alie express
Im happy that i decited to pay 100€ to Do this for me xD
Whats the name of the song???
Is this Original? Oder can i buy a Replikation?
Is an aftermarket part, it costs around 170 euro an original one will cost maybe 1000 euro
Check the Link in the description
Great job.
Thanks
Was kostet das bei euch?
Hallo ich mochte gerne mein grill bei ihnen austauschen bitte um ihre kontakt daten.
Ich habe gemacht das für ein Freund aber Sie können das machen alleine oder in einem Nomade Kfz Werkstatt
MFG
Also Sie können mir nicht helfen? ich würde gerne es bei ihnen machen lassen, wo ist ihren Standort?
Sie finden alle meine Daten hier DFC-folienwerk.de
Seems pretty easy. No thank you. If I was shipped the grill for free, it would not go on the vehicle. Part is about 100-300 dollars (depending) and the labor would be about 400 dollars and time. The car was built with what it has. You might as well put a Bugatti badge on the vehicle and call it a day or get a newer vehicle. Take a 1970s Cadillac and put a CTS-V grill on it. Bastardizes it a bit. I do think it looks much better but, time, cost and poser looks are not worth it. I slap a Nike Jordan 1 logo on Nike Jordan flip flops. 😉
Wow 👍👍👍
coming from BMW where changing the grill is a 5 minute job.... damn....
it was ezpz on old mercs
Спасибо. Хотел тоже себе поставить, но столько геморроя...
Не, передумал. Хотя красиво!
Changed my mind. Not bothered anymore. Thanks but no thanks.
peace of cake...
Why???
This video was wholesale dizzying.
2 months of sun and rain , will see how panamericana survive. never use aftermarket on an expensive german car.
Looks like new and is 2 years old
I will ask my garagist what it will kost haha! Leider ist Konstanz zu weit weg von mir!
