Trying to remove the grill from an E class model W212
Does any body know if there is any hidden bolts or can advise how to do it?
Many thanks

You have to remove the engine cover air ducting (if its in the way, only on a few cars), then the left and right air intake ducts.

Then unhook the bonnet release cable where it attaches to back of the air intake cross member.

Then you remove the air intake cross member which is held in with 3 catches along the front

Then the grill itself pivots out as you unclip some more catches

- sorry, its a bit hard to explain without photos/pictures

Thank you,I will have a look and try that.
On first glance though it looks as though it is more ridgidly fitted than that
I can see 2 x 10mm bolts at the bottom and there are catches at either side which slide.
I have undone these but cannot see what is still holding it. It looks as if it is designed to pull up rather than forward.
