Important: A2218880041 is the DISTRONIC center plate/cover number, not the complete grille service number. Mercedes parts documentation identifies 221-880-05-83-9040 as a W221 grille assembly equipped for proximity cruise/DISTRONIC, but that number is not visible on this grille, so it should not be represented as the photographed part number.

Important grille interchange note: Mercedes catalogs separate grille/DISTRONIC components depending on equipment and AMG configuration. The visible A2218880041 plate is listed as the non-AMG mount plate in Mercedes parts diagrams, while A2218880141 is listed for AMG applications. Therefore, buyers should match their original grille configuration rather than assuming all W221 grilles interchange.
