i've seen one at the local aftermarket shop here in new jersey called rayco.
it was 500$$$ i remember seeing it for the new s-class.
maybe search and see if you can find their info.
nice grills but to pricey, thats why i never got one. i also remember seeing some on ebay as well, but they are probebly crap.

I just researched them yesterday and today and ordered one. This is the lowdown...if you want to stay under $300 you are going to get PVC just like the standard MB grill, but......whereas the orginial is PVC the chrome blades on the front of it are metal. The under $300 models are PVC and the blades are chrome on the PVC. I ordered one of these and have no idea how it will hold up. It comes with an OEM 7.5" star. I ordered it from a company in Canada.
If you go on ebay and click in "S500 or S430 grill" you will find a bunch of different ones. The one that came closest to the original grill (same # of blades) had a smaller star...I'm guessing about 5". I didn't research the stuff over $300 so you might find something there.
Also the star falls exactly over the hood release so you might inquire if there is a hole punched to access that release.

I think it takes a different version to fit models from 2003 and newer, but I believe there are some available.

221 (2007+) chassis has a different grill than 220 (2000-2006), for sure. also, does your car have distronic? if it does, and you use it, i dont know that i would recommend getting an aftermarket grill, and certainly wouldnt recommend installing it yourself, because those radar units are very easy to break and very expensive to replace, and may not be compatible with the new grill.
if you dont use your distronic, and you just disconnect it, you will get the "visit workshop" message on your multifunction display.
