if your referring to the zip ties , theres no difference at all, its just color, however if you need to use any for the grill that need to stay use ones that will blend in like black ones , that way its less noticeable

@@MIKEYZVLOGZ That's what I was thinking. The amount of debris and insects that would gather in that grill. Hmm. Was thinking about putting this on my W212 but, it's a whole laborious complex time consuming project. I wish it was just pop the old plastic one off and put a new one on. It's wheel arch liners, undercarriage, about 50 clasps and plastic screw clips. Most take the bumper off and drill the old chrome/plastic. I've seen some W204s or other non-E .. C classes that just pop off and a new grill is put on. I don't know why the W212 is a whole complex event. I'm guessing, for itt being solid and staying on - plus older models don't just clip off.

Looks alot harder to keep the grill glued to the grill then it actually is. Also if you do glue on the mesh make sure you don’t use the wrong type of glue as I used one that turned yellow & puffy after it dried and almost ruined my grill.
