Grille and LED surrounds - anybody make them in black?

Hey guys

I have a 2011 C63, with a facelift kit installed

The grille and LED surrounds are painted gloss black over the chrome, and it keeps chipping bad

Does anyone make these in gloss black? Or plastic that can be painted

if you facelift fitment works for you then you can buy the 507 edition grill which comes in black. AFAIK only AMG makes such a grill. ordering online at an mb wholesale website will save you a decent chunk of change as opposed to going through the dealerships.

Those parts and thread are legit. I just installed the grille and DRL's. Perfect fit. Careful when ordering through the wholesale sites. They asked me for my VIN, and sent OEM replacements (chrome) even though I specifically ordered the 507 version. They were cool about it, but just took twice as long to return the chrome for the black.
