To replace the front grille on a Mercedes CLA, you must completely remove the front bumper of the car: this can be done by opening the hood and first loosening the screws that secure the bumper from its upper side. After these screws are loosened, you can unbolt those located at the lower part of the bumper and inside the wheel wells of the front wheels.

This way, the bumper can be detached, and the grille in the center can be removed by releasing its internal clips: you can then insert the new one and reattach the bumper to its place.
