If you do not want a replica avantgarde grill...

You really need to look at the other thread I have going on the avantgarde grill.

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...0&pagenumber=1

and

https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...0&pagenumber=1

OEM ones from what I have found are not available anywhere else but your MB dealer and can cost anywhere from 200-400 bucks.

My contact at autocross says he is trying to obtain a few oem avantgarde grills from germany using the oem serial number. We'll see how that goes thru, as I am trying to get a group buy going on it.

That site sells an avantgarde grill made by Schatz.

I dont think its oem, but pretty good quality.

autocross.com sells a replica made by Holi, but they are returning that shipment and trying to obtain the real oem ones. This happened just recently and my contact there said he'd let me know once its in.
