It's looks like you already found the right place. AliExpress and eBay are your source for bootleg parts and fugazi covers. I always thought those big brake caliper covers are hysterical. It's like winning a gold medal and having it bronzed. That red grill looks wonky too. Why not try pinstriping the outline of the grille and the mirrors in red like the Ed1 cars? There is a c450 I found on Instagram with a whole lot of red details. While it isn't to my taste, you might dig it. He dechromed the tail with red and did some more red on the wheels an grill.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about this. I've seen that there may be a foil that MB sells or I can buy some red vinyl. What is approximate pricing on each and what is the best way to go about purchasing vinyl if I went that route? Not sure what all is needed and sizing and vendors, etc. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hit Amazon. I bought a bunch of items from a company called Vivid Vinyl. They cut section of a roll from 1'*5' and up from there. They also had the squeegees and wedge tools you're going to need. Pistriping is also available in widths from 1/8" to 1.5".
I don't know if I'd vinyl your calipers though. That's a high temp region that you should paint.
