W204 Lower Grille Solution
 

Hello Friends :). The other day I purchased a used c350, sport package and all the good stuff. I hadn't realized that the lower grill was cracked and chunks were missing from it, i came here and other forums looking for solutions and how to replace it, what I found out was that there were many people saying that they already went through multiple lower grilles, now my question is if it would be beneficial too anyone of if I were to make an exact replica of the OEM grille but in stainless steel or cast alloy and then painted to the buyers specs? What price would you pay for one of these, taking into account that the OEM from Mercedes is roughly $80 CDN. Thank You all for your time, it is very much appreciated.:cool:

There is an aftermarket chrome plastic grille that sticks on top of the existing grill. or you can just replace the original 1
