Are there any aftermarket grills for the lower opening?

I did have to get them painted and that cost a little bit as they sanded the black color down and properly painted silver, but still it was a deal of a lifetime. Just search

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh. I get it. It's not EASY. I have to WORK to find them. I see. 
In this day and age I figured there was an aftermarket source out there of reliable clone parts. But apparently it's not just a mouiseclick away. BTW, that "fiberglass" part scared me. Seemed cheesey. OEM much better but I know how Mercedes hates to sell their parts, given the way they price them. I already had to buy two keys at $256 EACH.

Well, I did this instead for the short run, just to see how it would look. The car is dirty. The vinyl wrapping takes some patients and dexterity. Glad the sheet they send is big enough for 3 tries. I have two left in case it starts flapping in the wind. Leaning toward the lower grill now, and painting it black. It actually looks great in real life. Can't wait to go to work tomorrow so I can see it when I walk into the building. Oh, and I ordered wheels and tires too.
This is kind of what I was going for:

hey joe.. you can remove the lip you wrapped and put a black grill like the one from mina gallery...I think it's the closest you can get to the SL look .. 
I removed the bumper lip at a certain time ...actually it got stolen
, but kinda liked the look without it, kinda unique
