The grill on my 1977 240D needs some attention. The insert appears to be unpainted fiberglass, but is in good shape--with the exception of one chip that I think I can reasonably repair with some glass cloth and epoxy---I work a little on boats. The chrome strips are a bit mangled and funky, but I know where I can get a replacement set at a very reasonable price. The surround is in good shape.

The car is painted "Medium Red"---what color is the grill insert "supposed" to be? What color would look good?
