Hehee im located in Sweden!

Does your grill have the double block off plates seen in the picture? Ive found many that have the block off plate on the left side but the original as far as i know has one on both sides.

It might be a US market thing. My car is only blocked off on the passanger side. I know people who have chissled that out for better air intake since it blocks the intake pipes.

Mine has the two top corners blocked with black plastic, just like your picture. Make me a good offer and I will sell it to you. I have a second one but only one side is blocked as Pj said.

I agree with the US market thing, because all the W202 grills I've purchased or seen on different types of the W202 range had the blockage plate on the passenger side (LHD vehicules).
On my C43, I removed the blockage with a Dremel to improve air intake flow together with George's enlarged filter box
