Are you looking for the original OEM grille (just a replacement) or a grille with the star logo in it like on some of the newer models?

A newer style with the logo in it. Any suggestions on places to look? I'd love to see some pictures of them on the same year car, as i've only seen a few.

I'd really like to know if there's another year or model that might fit...i'd rather stay with MB parts if i can.

IMO, id stick with the oem grille, you can go all black like I did but Id stay away from a 211 grille with the center logo on it. its a bit tacky for me. your choice but.

You can really only get aftermarket grilles that have the star in it for the W211, everything OEM is made for its respective car. They look terrible in my opinion doesn't flow with the front end at all, so not sure I can help you much on parts. If I were you, I would definitely go Beejay's route and have it professionally painted with three layers of gloss black, it looks sick, just take a look at Fila's E63:

Thanks! Yeah I'd really only want OEM, and was hoping some one might know if perhaps a Cl of an alike year would properly fit. I'm not impressed with the aftermarket ones i've seen. Love the gloss black on black. Mine's sliver...gotta get a pic up. Found the car in FL last spring with only 21,000 miles! Garage kept, one owner, all records! Was thinking about adding front and rear spoilers paint matched.
Does anyone have a suggestion on the spoilers? It looks like the Renntech spoilers fit the car nicely...
