You will need to use a flexible glue and the one I used in the video worked perfectly is Gorilla Gel Superglue www.ebay.co.uk/p/1824495939

I did the same. And the illuminated Star. Looks amazing. I’ve also done the Black Quad Pips and rear diffuser and a GH front Splitter. Switch Back headlights w/ Morimoto HID kit. 18” Luca Glossy Black Staggered Rims with Michelins. I’ve only to do a light window tint and blackout my chrome. Overall my C300 looks AMAZING🔥🔥🔥. Loved your tutorial. Thanks!

Thanks mate. That’s genius. I didn’t like the wide teeth open grill either. Thanks to you I will install the mesh first to the grill at unboxing then install the grill to the car, if I ever come to swapping it out for my 2017 GLE 350. Some say I gotta remove the entire bumper cover to do this so kind of on the fence. Thanks again. Your car is a beauty👌

@mrix
@mrix 3 жыл бұрын
@@TT-1738 Hi I think its important to leave as much mesh as possible to fit around the complete outer edge of the grill because that`s basically a more flat edge to secure the grill, I then basically glued the horizontal slats and allowed enough mesh to fold down a little in to where the star emblem fits, I basically only applied glue at certain points but you can really apply as much glue as you like, its not going to get seen etc, the Gorilla glue even though flexible is very strong and secures the mesh very well, mrix

Hello yes the video was dark but for being a waste of time certainly not, it gives a clear warning to start with how visible you can see behind this grill which may not be to everyone's liking and adding some mesh will help with this issue, I am sure most will understand and get the idea.... mrix

Hi, yes its most certainly sounds like another option but my thinking with this idea was that it also protects the radiator from stone chips and other debris thrown up from the road, these Panamericana grills don't offer much protection at all, mrix
