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

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

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.
Now that looks AWESOME!!! Great work for sure...

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.
