WTB: C230 Coupe Grille [Pre-FaceLift Style]

I'm looking for an early, pre-facelift C230 Coupe Grille as pictured below. Would like one in excellent condition with no missing tabs, slats, etc.

I would like to get it as cheap as possible, as well as local pickup in the SoCal area [Los Angeles/Orange County].

I know plenty of you guys have swapped out for face-lifted/aftermarket grilles, so show me what you got!

PM me. Thanks.

If you can wait a couple weeks, I'm swapping mine out then. In the S F Valley - Encino area. Off my 04 with 22k miles, great shape. Make me an offer.

I think I'm going to hang on to mine for a while.
It's hung up on my garage wall, where it makes a great conversation piece.

The pre-2005 grills are harder & harder to find in brand new condition any more, since most used ones are chock full of rock chips and scratches.

I'd sell you mine, but you'd have to be prepared to pay the shipping from the UK.

I have one, but it does have rock chips on it.

I'd let it go cheap.

Carlos, that is a good idea of mounting it in the garage.

oh you were talking about the old 1950's 219 Pontons...
I thought you meant the new: C219 CLS in reference to the bottom grill.

You were talking about the top grill.
anyway, it's from an early 1960's W111 250se

I am looking for a slightly used one too for my 2002 coupe. Anybody else out there with one that they will sell cheap? Some chips are ok, mine has some paint peeling issues now. What do you expect with 130K miles on it.

Thanks in advance.
