I can't gaurantee the fitment of these as I didn't buy from them. I got mine here locally from taobao.com in china. Took a risk and it turned out fitting like OEM. But they look pretty similar in quality as the one I got.
here's the one I got. Once i figured out how to do it, it literally takes 30 seconds to take off the grille.

Just a warning that almost all of the aftermarket grills have a noticable gap between the top of the frame and the front edge of the hood.
This gap is more obvious on lighter colored cars.

this is true, however even my OEM grille had the exact same gap... My car is the Chinese version built in beijing. Does this mean the OEM grille on the cars here are aftermarket too? All the other C's have the exact same gap from Factory here...

oem sport grill and hood emblem are sold as a kit from an oem online site at a discount. I think pair was about $250.

Grills are probably the easiest thing to source for..... look in the for sale sections, eBay, the sponsored vendors.. they all have them! You could have just bumped your first thread from yesterday... https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...ort-grill.html

2008 C300 Lux
I had been casually watching auctions on eBay for some time now. I have a '08 lux model and don't really care for my stock grille. I finally got lucky a couple of weeks ago, and managed to snag a used OEM sport grille for $65 including shipping to Hawaii! Stoked!!! Just received it yesterday and mounted today. So much happier now!
Keep shopping and be patient, you'll eventually find a good deal. Good luck!
