    The Grille Clips have been difficult to find till last night I thought there were quite a few Real AMG Mercedes out there so I did a google search for AMG Mercedes Grille Clips and a pack of 20 popped up on Amazon for $11. Go figure. Anyway got them on the way. A set of the AMG Grille inserts for this car is over $600, I can't loose the ones I have. It does look better without the Front License Plate Mount.

    Good find. The older they get (cars) the little parts are near impossible to locate.

    Looks better than new. Great job, and a sweet looking grocery getter...

    Default Got the Front End Back Together

    So I finally received the clips I needed to finish putting the front Bumper back together with all the new light fixtures. I have a couple of Gremlins like Slab is running into, no power to the passenger side marker lite and a short somewhere in the wiring harness inside the Passenger Mirror causing a intermittent operation of LED Turn Signal in the Mirror. Wiping that front license plate holder really makes it look better. Mississippi only uses a rear license plate.

    I still have to repair the fiberglass splash guard the tow truck cracked. Working on that tomorrow.

    I traced the wiring up into the engine compartment on the passenger side but no power. When I did the Fog Lite tests they were OK but a feature on the car allows the brake lights to be switched on from the Light Switch and only one side was illuminated. Now I have to see if both brake lites work from the pedal. I spent most of the day troubleshooting the Mercedes E350 4Matic HVAC problem for a friend. Finally figured that out and sent him home to order the part. The mirror when I fold it back and wiggle the harness the turn signal works so I will deal with that later.

    Thank y'all for noticing, I drag Beaters home every other year or so to piddle with much to my wife's .

    Maybe a loose connection inside the mirror?

    Got to be, the harness passes right over a pinch point within the mirror but the clearance to unwrap the harness, fix the broken wire, and wrap back up is minimal at best. I will pick that fight later. Drove it to Walmart this morning after fixing the Skid Plate. All good so far. The new Cooling Fan I installed behind the Radiator while the frontend was apart is much, much, quieter than the original.
