Best place to buy a black W211 Grille?
I've been searching online and keep finding them in the $150-$200 range. It seems steep for some plastic.

Anybody have any better sources?

Just paint your own bro, 14$ in spray paint, 300 highway miles and no chips yet. Looks great

I did that to the kidneys on my E46 328 but they chipped eventually and it looked like crap. I guess I can always repaint it. I'll give it a go. Maybe I can get a light bead-blasting so the paint will stick better.

Yea, it's all in the prep work. I used 320 grit sand paper then went up to 600. 1 coat of primer then like 10 coats of semi black lol
