W201/W210/W124....

The W201 (190) is no fun at all, so that will be a mistake. The W210 (E class/avantgarde) grill has a lot of chrome strips and looks very good. Yes you can retrofit an original W210 avantgarde grill into your W124 grill frame. Mercedes sells an E class avantgarde grill-like insert for the W202 (C class) as well which may be easier to retrofit (don't know). I have retrofit an OEM W210 E class grill insert into my C class grill frame but that was because the plug and play E class like grill inserts were not available back then.

Some after market companies (MHZ or in pro) sell W210 E class avantgarde like grill inserts that fit the W124 grill frame (one insert for the pre 94 grill frames and one insert for the after 93 grill frames).

Hope this helps & greetingz,
