What I think was a large stone dented the chrome top part of my C230K's grill and chipped the plastic of the slat just below it.
Anyone know how much a new one is and how hard it is to replace it?
What aftermarket grills are available?
Thanks!

I bet if you asked the dealer to just replace it they would... since its the star and all. They usually will fix the MB logo stuff

List price for the stock grille is $109 at my dealer, as I ordered a spare and had it modified already. Note, the grille does not include the chrome strip at the front top edge of the hood, that is separate from the grille and attached to the hood. Good luck.

What mod did you do to the spare grill you bought.

Had the slats painted to match the car, brilliant silver. Left the chrome strips alone, as they don't bother me. The darker gray strips of the grill just looked out of place to me. I also had the front license plate bracket matched to body color, as well. Still don't want to mount it, but if I get forced to, at least it will match.

Now that I have the spare grille, though, I do plan to look at ways to modify it, but retain a semi-stock appearance.
