My W123 grille is new from the manufacturer mentioned. The chrome is different than the factory type in that it's more reflective (then again the original one it replaced probably had some oxidation). Never bought a new MB grille (from the dealer), the insert alone from my parts guy (w/o dealer mark up) was $45 where aftermarket units are around $20.
What's wrong with the chrome frame on yours? Usually if the chrome is good, I would simply replace the insert and chrome strips. I would only get the whole assembly you're after, if I want the chrome frame replaced.
