It actually wouldn't look like that at all. ^^^^

The W212's mouth is proportioned to only fit coherently with the Luxury grille. With the aftermarket Sport grilles for it, they keep that thick border around them (a'la Luxury grille) to compensate for the extra width, which is an awkward fit.

The E Coupe is designed and proportioned from the get-go to fit coherently with the Star grille, hence the more narrow opening, and typical M-B Star Grille's "no huge border" look.
