The grille is the face of a Mercedes-Benz. The factory star-and-bars design is safe and familiar — which is exactly why swapping it is the single most visible exterior change you can make. Whether you want the vertical-bar Panamericana look, the AMG twin-blade face, the diamond-pin pattern, or a full Maybach-style executive front end, there is a direct-fit grille for almost every Mercedes chassis from the early 2000s to today.
This guide walks through every style we carry, which chassis each one suits, and how to match your exact model year. The full range — 221 grilles across 40+ chassis — lives in the Mercedes-Benz Front Grilles collection.

1. GT Vertical-Bar — the Panamericana Look
Thin vertical slats running the full height of the grille — the face Mercedes-AMG put on its GT and 63 models. It reads as a performance car at a glance and suits everything from a G-Wagen to a CLE coupe.
The classic boxy G-Wagen with a modern vertical-bar face. Fits the long-running W463 (2004–2018) — one grille that covers the whole pre-facelift generation.

2. AMG-Style — the Twin-Blade Face
Two horizontal blades across a single-frame grille — the signature AMG look without the Panamericana drama. The safest "OEM-plus" choice if you want the car to look faster without drawing attention to the modification.

3. Diamond-Star — the Discreet OE Refresh
Hundreds of small diamond pins surrounding the central star mount — the pattern Mercedes uses on its AMG-Line and Night Package cars. Choose this when you want a fresher face that still looks stock from ten feet away.
C-Class W205 (2015–2021) with the hood-emblem layout — the star moves to the hood like an S-Class, and the grille goes fully diamond.

4. Maybach-Style — the Executive Front End
Fine vertical chrome fins with the star relocated to the hood — the Maybach treatment. On an S-Class it simply looks correct; on a C-Class or E-Class it is a guaranteed conversation piece.

How to Pick the Right One
-
Match the chassis first — W205 and W206 parts never interchange, and neither do W212 and W213.
-
Then match the model year — most chassis are split at the facelift. A W205 grille listed for 2015–2018 is not for the 2019–2021 facelift; the E-Class W212 splits at 2012/2013, and the W213 at 2020/2021. The year range is in every listing title.
-
Then pick the face — vertical-bar for presence, AMG twin-blade for OEM-plus, diamond for stealth, Maybach for luxury, LED for night.
-
Check the star mount — hood-emblem (Maybach/executive) grilles move the star to the hood; if your star is currently in the grille, make sure the listing says which layout it uses.
Not for other brands or non-listed chassis: every grille in the collection is listed for one specific Mercedes-Benz model and year range, and each fits only the years shown in its title. If your car sits between two year ranges (facelift years especially), message us with your VIN or model year and we will confirm the correct listing before you order.
All 23 grilles featured here — and the full 221-listing range — are in stock and ship from our warehouse. Browse everything in the Mercedes-Benz Front Grilles collection.
