Do I need hardware to bolt this bracket on?

The bracket itself is included. Fasteners are not confirmed in the package — verify against your vehicle's OEM mounting hardware before installation. You may use existing factory bolts or obtain equivalent replacements from a Mercedes parts supplier if needed.

Will this fit behind my grille or does it stick out?

This bracket is engineered to mount at factory anchor points, so fitment depth is designed for stock integration. Test-fit before final tightening to confirm clearance with your grille trim.

What tools do I need to install this?

You'll need basic hand tools — likely a socket wrench set to access the mounting points behind your front bumper area. Your vehicle's service manual will show exact bolt locations and torque specs.
