Where Can I Buy a Chrome Front Grille?

Hello,
I was wondering where can I buy the full chrome grille (S Class Style) for my 1997 C230? They seem to look really nice, and add a really nice and classy touch to the car . Thanks for all of your help. Please post your car pictures, if you have this accessory. Thanks a lot for all of your help!

Anyone try the Schatz Avantgard grill?

Just curious if anyone purchased this one and tried to install it. How are the edges cut and how is the fit? Good thing about them is the are made in Germany, so I'm assuming the fit is LIKE OEM. $159 + $12 shipping. Worth it if the fit is perfect. But for a hundred more ($265 using Rincewind's contact) you get the OEM one. If anyone tried the Schatz one, let the rest of us know is it worth it?
