W111 grill (S-Class 220 SEb or 330 SE)
hi folks...
hoping someone with knowledge of the W111 can help me out...
I have what I think is a W111 grill, badly needing replacement chrome vertical (1) and horizontal (10) strips.
The grill is in outstanding shape, chrome surround is bright, scratch & dent free, and shiny !! MB badge and star are excellent.
But, the vertical & horizontal slats that sit on top of the grill honeycomb itself, are badly in need of replacement.
First of all, can someone identify the right car model this grill belongs to (220SEb or 330 SE), and model year (1960's ??), and secondly, where can I obtain new or good condition used chrome strips to replace these old dented rusted ones ????
Please e-mail me at: Saprissa@aol.com
here are the dimensions of the grill, and some pics below...
(23 inches H x 24~25 inches W)

well, my search has led me to order the following parts,
for what I believe may be a 1962 W111 250 Se grill:
- 108 888 01 22 horizontal chrome strips x 10
- 001 988 61 78 horizontal clips x 3
- 110 888 00 21 vertical chrome strip x 1
- 001 988 75 78 vertical clips x 20
once they come in, and if they fit correctly, I'll take new pics.
Hopefully, they're the right length.

really happy with the way my 1962 W211 250se grill came out.
Spent quite a few hours restoring the mesh metal grill and cleaning it out. Not quite a shiny finish, but definitely clean. The chrome strips from the dealer were right on cue, and brought the grill back to life.
A little bit of chrome polish around the outside and star, and here's a pic:
