Mercedes S-Class W221 grille: the face of the final facelift
This Mercedes S-Class W221 grille replaces the entire front grille on 2009 to 2013 models, those from the facelifted phase. Taut horizontal slats, a solid surround and a central opening for the star: it is the design that gives the large sedan its sporty limousine look, and the one you replace when the original grille is pitted, clouded or simply too chrome.
Why replace the front grille of your W221
- Two finishes: black for the Black Edition effect, silver to stay close to the factory look.
- Horizontal slats: the signature of the highest-end versions of the S-Class.
- Molded ABS: lighter than the original and immune to chrome corrosion.
- Star opening retained: you reuse your hood or grille emblem.
- Direct replacement: same mounting points as the original grille.
W221 grille: compatibility and versions
The grille offered here is designed for the W221 sedan from the second phase and covers the S350, S400, S450, S500, S550 and S65 models depending on the equipment. Note: the first phase (2006-2009) has a different bumper and cutout. If your car is equipped with an adaptive cruise control radar or a camera behind the grille, compare the central opening with the photos: compatibility must be checked according to the version before installation.
Technical specifications
Type: complete front grille. Style: horizontal slats. Material: ABS. Finishes: black or silver. Compatibility: Mercedes S-Class W221, 2009 to 2013 models. Emblem: not included, opening provided. Contents: 1 grille. Installation: direct replacement.
How to change a grille on an S-Class
Allow 45 to 90 minutes. Open the hood, remove the upper grille of the sunroof then the top screws of the grille. Then release the side clips by pulling the grille forward, without forcing the plastic tabs which become brittle with age. Transfer the star and, if applicable, the radar sensor to the new part, position it and check the gaps with the headlights and the hood before tightening it permanently. Maintenance: soapy water and microfiber; on the black finish, avoid abrasive products.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Mercedes star included?

Will it fit a pre-2009 W221?
No: the first phase has a different cutout. This grille corresponds to the 2009 to 2013 models.
Is it compatible with adaptive cruise control?
Only if the central opening matches your radar module. Compare with your removed grille before ordering.
Do you need to remove the bumper?
No, the grille is removed from the top, hood open, without touching the bumper.
Which finish ages best?
Black does not pit like tired chrome; silver remains truer to the original look of the S-Class.
