If you want a real one then go to the stealership, sorry thats the only place you can get one! But to tell you the truth bekkers grill is good enough in my opinion.

i would just get the one from bekkers. youre saving about $80 and most people cant even tell the difference. then again, most people cant tell the difference between the upgraded grill and the stock grill, but thats besides the point.

I have both and the difference is pretty big to me. The chorme inserts don't slide on the OEM MB ones, the black plastic is not flimsy and it fits properly. I bought my first grille from bekkers and it didn't fit and the chrome strips moved and didn't align properly.

Got the OEM MB ones and still looking good.
