Its not an off the shelf grille.

Its a replica touran grille so will only fit if you have a 3 piece front bumper. if you have normal caddy bumper the grille is part of the bumper

The red stripe i have put on using wheel trim tape and the R badge off ebay is just stuck on

How did you manage to get it to fit around the a-pillar window gaps? I tried but failed to get it to work round the shape so just ended up blanking the little window off with the material.

Ha yes a nightmare.

Currently I've pieced it under there. You'd never notice as i overlay the pieces running away so you can't see the join if that makes sense?

Down the line i will probably still have to piece them but will make it even neater
