There is no other factory grill option for your SL. What you got is it...
Other grills will not fit.

Well , mercedes already has a factory in china so its a bit too late for all that. However they are still upto mercedes standarts. Not aftermarket crap obviously.

also one of the biggest foreign car brand in china is believe it or not the good old buick haha. One reason GM didnt kill that brand.

it’ll be hard to cut ties with chinese market especially when its the second biggest auto market in the world after US

Put an SL63 grill on it if you want it to look better. I don't think anything else will turn out well or fit at all.

Agree - the SL63 grill (ok, it happens to be mine) is sharp.

You can only do that on a facelift model. The 2013-2016 has a different size grill and the whole front clip would need to be replaced...
