Comparing C300 Grills. Thinking this is not OEM

This car had new hood, grill, bumper put on and I am thinking they used an aftermarket grill. I have compared to other C300 grills and it looks to be different than factory grill. Anyone know price difference between aftermarket and factory grill? Also, do you think they went with aftermarket hood as well to fit aftermarket grill? Bumper looks OEM.

Another round of ICE
That looks like the AMG style grille I paid extra to purchase on Ebay for about $95, best I remember! Original grille has argent gray painted slats arranged differently. This is a good upgrade! Fits my OE hood very well.

Aftermarket grills can range from $100 - $200. The OEM grill costs about $200 online.

I can't see your photo too clearly. Maybe you can take some larger and up close photos so people can take a better look.
