Excellent. Would never had attempted without this video. Thx
My friend I put my grill by watching your video... With out you I would be lost. Thanks allot.
Impressive work here - great video !
Well done. Nice job and thanks for the video.
This is so helpful I just ordered a new grille myself !👍🏾
Mind me asking where from? I just got a 21 A35 and neeeeedd this.
"temporarily unavailable sensor dirty" error. make sure no wires are blocking the radar sensor which is the small black box, zip tie wires out of the way completely. for anyone who might make my mistake 😅
Really helpful, many thanks for this video
Hope to fit the Panamericana grill in the next couple of weeks, your hard work will make this a breeze!
Bon travail frère , tu mérites de bosser chez Mercedes wallah , j’ai trop kiffer 👌
Would have loved a before and after.
Hey Dave, at 5:49, is it really necessary to unplug that if the back panel can be removed alongside it? Or is that not possible?
Thanks for the video mate, really helpful. Roughly how long did it take from start to finish including full reassembly of the front bumper?
Mush 89 around three hours but some of that was messing around with cameras
That looks hard but I'm still going to do it. Hope I'll be able to go back to work on Monday
Hey Dave! Thx for the vid. Is it really necessary to remove the wheels and the protective plates in front of it? :)
You can do it without, but you’ll need small hands and lots of patience.
Thank you
Did you put the bumper back on the car then fit the Mercedes badge last as I’ve just ordered one of these grills and have been told the badge has to be clipped in from the back before the bumper can go back onto the car?
Nice video. Thank you! There is a cable from the exhaust into the interior. Do you know where i can find this cable inside the car? BR
Great video track Dave. Do you or anyone know if you have to recalibrate anything for this? Some bodyshops saying they won't touch it due to recalibration? I'm assuming they mean parking sensors, radar, camera etc.is that right? P.S. I have those re camera. Radar. Thanks heaps
What a great thing to offer for those adventurous enough to attempt this conversion.... But Dave..... such a shame you didn't end video on the final look!!!! Do you have any pictures of converted finish please?? Thanks again.
John Brewster I was in a rush to get the video out and by the time I was done it had gone dark. Head over to my Instagram for some completed photos @TrackDave_C
@@Scuderia_Dave will do pal. Thanks again!!
Wooow way more complicated than I had expected. Looks like a 2 hour job
Hi could you film how to take out emblem? I cant twist it counterclockwise
nice bro
I have the 2015 GLA45 and can’t figure out how to release the grill tabs?? Anyone know and do you need to remove that too splash guard ?? Thanks for any help.
Hey sir I retrofit the same for Mercedes cla 2019 and I have a problem with the front sensor on the grill, keep giving sound it’s like there is something on it, do you get the same problem also otherwise do u suggest any solution please? Thanks
Hi Dave - thanks for the video. I spoke to a mechanic and they mentioned about the proximity sensor flashing up on the dash after removing the bumper to change the grill. Just wondered if you had any issues with this?
He referred to ADAS but I’m not sure if that’s just with the new A Class and not the W176.
I didn't personally have any issues but I know a couple of people who routed the radar wiring the wrong side of the radar which threw up an error. Check behind the badge to ensure there is nothing blocking the radar's view.
@@Scuderia_Dave great thanks for the help i'll give it a go!
I’ve having this issue at the moment. Did anyone have a solution?
Do you have a part number for the radar sensor holder
Hello, I’m looking for the round part on the back of the grill, 6:22. To fit the distronic holder on. Would anybody be able to help? TIA
Great video! What type of auto repair person should I take this to to do? Regular mechanic or someone who works in smash repairs? Looks complicated. Thanks 👍
Anyone with some jacks and basic tools could handle the job. A regular mechanic will probably be cheaper than a body shop.
Wow, some job, unlike BMW front grilles! In real time easily a two hour job making sure not breaking clips and the like!
Hi Dave
Thx for the video quick question does the panamericana grill fit a a200 amg line ?
Cheers
W177 A200
Hey does the 45s genuine grill fit?
How long did it take you?
Don't think the entire wheel well plastic removal is necessary but if you where detailing and I suppose
this is for a35 amg?
where you buy the Panamerciana grille ?
did the distronic work?
Tobias Hunger got it from eBay. I don’t have distronic on my A35 but if you reuse your original Mercedes badge there is no reason why it wouldn’t work.
Hi Dave, just ordered my grill and fitted it, followed your video, the top bit above the grill with the weatherstrip inside is a nightmare to get on. Ive got it on but it looks like my bumper is higher up than my bonnet. Any tips would be appreciated. Many thanks, Connor.
Sounds like that part might not be fully clipped in of you struggled with it. From memory, I don't think that part was tricky for me so might be worth taking another look at yours to check all the clips are fully in and it's not being held off.
@@Scuderia_Dave is there a special way that it’s held on or aligned?
@@Scuderia_Dave going to take bumper off this evening and try and re-clip it back in. It’s the part above the grill that is giving me grief.
@@connormckeown7778 from memory, it just clips in. Probably best to try and line all the clips up then work from the middle out.
@@Scuderia_Dave I can push down on the front bumper and hear it trying to clip in but reckon it’s better to take the bumper off again and get a look at it in daylight. I rushed my install as it was getting dark when I fitted it
Does anybody here know how to fix the distronic being thrown out of calibration
I think you dont need to do any calibration, cause its just getting out off one grile and getting into the other one
Hey. How did you take out this emblem? Mine is really scratched and need to change it however i can even move it. Can you make it detail or make a new vid?
Just turn it anticlockwise, it'll be really stiff. May help to warm it up by pouring warm water over it first or letting it sit in the sun for a while.
@@Scuderia_Dave honestly i tried . I put my right index and thumb on lower spokes and four fi gers of left hand on high spoke as you did in the video put as much force as i had and still it didnt even moved a bit is it like nothing nothing click and its lose or its constant force to twist it
Does anyone have a partnumber for this Grill in the chrome version? I think It comes with/without space for a camera above the emblem. I’m looking for the one without. Thank you
I doubt you’ll get a part number because they’re not official merc parts, several places in China are churning them out. It’s a case of scrolling through eBay until you find one that suits.
TrackDave Alright. I already found the Aliexpress ones. But there must be an OEM one. Isn’t this fitted on the A45 from the factory?
Btw I just watched a Spanish guy do the same install without removing the wheels and the whole liner inside the wheel well. That’s seems way easier - I’ll like the video. But just wonder if you then are working in the blind a bit.

@@Flaksting Hi did you find if you can fit a oem a45 one? if so did you do it?
@@alison68180 you can’t unless you get the whole a45 front bumper. The normal and AMG line front bumpers have different fits. So you need to go for third party. There a hundreds of nice ones (and many crappy ones too)
Did you need to disconnect the battery to do this?
Always disconnect battery when working on car
Rule of thumb
Where are you located and how much do you charge for the replacement.
I don’t do this professionally, just made the video to help people DIY.
Bought After market Grille and did not fit
Go on ebay mate. Make sure to enter your cars info and it'll display only the grilles that fit your model. You can also message the seller and ask them
Easy life without the distronic 😭
I find it embarrassing to install the A45s grill when only the A35 or even smaller motors are installed.....
Certo che al giorno d’oggi le automobili sono solo plastica.
