Given the price, I'd say you're better off doing it yourself. It's wicked easy. Just use an avantgarde grille, get some PlastiDip spray paint (I think it's called glossifier) and you're all set. When you're tired of it, just peel off the paint.
I did mine in matte black over 4 months ago, my car sleeps outdoor and is a DD, and the paint is still intact.

Btw it looks really nice on yours. My car is silver, so I am still kind of debating between the black out or the all silver grill w/the large center star.

Seriously, I would recommend to do it yourself. Removing the grille is just 8 bolts to remove and it will be out in 5 minutes. Then, clean the grille, spray 2 or 3 coats (leaving 10-15 min between each) and you should be all set. The PlastiDip paint will cost you around $10 for 2 cans.
If you're not happy, you can peel off the paint!
Btw, grilles with the large center star do not look very good on W202. Just my 2 cents...

Go on youtube, I'm sure you'll find tons of demos, product showcase, etc. It's very very resistant. I've had it on my grill for 5 months and I pressure wash the car pretty often. No peeling whatsoever.
