Looking for a grille

Hello everyone

I have had my car just over a month now, 2010 c300 sport 4matic and I LOVE it! I dont know why but I am shocked at how many looks this car gets.

Anyways, I have a couple mods done so far:
19" wheels
H&R sport springs
Bumper plugs
Tinted windows

Anyways, I am looking to purchase a new grille for the car.
I love the design of the grille of the car now, I am just looking for something a little different. I am looking for the stock grille, however, one that is all black, with the large centered mercedes logo in chrome.

I have found one that is pretty close, but not exactly what I am looking for, if there are no closer alternatives, I will end up with this one.

Any Suggestions?

Its the first day of Spring here and it snowed this morning. =( Do a Search and you can save some money by painting your own grille black and leaving the chrome and the star. I painted my grille myself it was easy and it takes time probably the whole day if you want it to look prefect.

Grille was from Express Body Parts. Multiple members have this grille and like the fit/finish/price. Remember, it is all plastic, so is no where near the heft/quality of the stock piece.

^^^ that's a nice grille.
Is it the AMG grille painted black?
The only think I am not too keen on is the large gap between hood and the top of the grille.

No. There are no strips at all (the chrome parts of the C63 grille). Just single slats. The gap at the top has never been a concern for me. Def. not a fitment issue, just how it was designed. Any closer and it'll probably get smacked when the hood gets closed.

It's pretty similar to stock. You could just paint, plasti-dip, or vinyl wrap instead of a new purchase
