This is an aftermarket 55tech grill. It is only made for up to 2012 models though.

It appears that you could have the grill you want, or a close facsimile, by painting the silver portions black (I'd use satin or semi-flat black), leaving the chrome/stainless trim untouched. I thought about doing that to my C250, but my car is silver, so the stock grill matches nicely as-is.

Yeah my stock grille looked just like that photo you posted on my 2013. Chrome front trim with glass black middle part from the factory.
