Front Grill Assembly
My neighbor backed into my benz, crunched the front grill, so I'm looking for a replacement. this is for a 1995 E-320 sedan. There's lots of aftermarket stuff, is this the same product as the stealership? they charge $400 for this thing, while online, prices are around $150. I guess the question is, buy from the dealership, or buy online? and does it really matter? what is the part #? dealership says 124-880-0783, but I've seen 0983, is this for the coupe or somthing, does it matter?
Is there a cool aftermarket upgrade to make it look more sporty? Thanks!

While I have had great luck with aftermarket parts bought online, this is one part I bought that sucked! Did not fit well at all.
Best bet is to find a good used one.

I'll echo Brewtwo's comment. I need to replace the radiator grille on my W124 also, and the aftermarket product I purchased did not fit at all.
The only think I liked about it was the plastic insert was black not grey. It looked a lot more stylish and I'm considering painting the plastic when I pick up an OEM version.

Try eBay...I've gotten a couple grills off there that are reasonably priced and in decent shape. One of them brand new!
Here's a couple links: Hope neighbor's insurance will pay for it! If so get the dealership one. Good Luck!

There is no deductible on liability insurance, only on collision and comprehensive. He should definitely notify his insurance company and they'll pay. However, they won't pay for a new one.
Every state has a minimum claim threshold below which the insurance company can't increase rates as a result of the claim. In other words, for a claim this small, your neighbor has nothing to lose to notify the insurance company. You, on the other hand, will not get a 450 grille. you should call Potomac German Auto for a good used one, they are on the web at www.pgauto.com. I've gotten several fantastic parts from them. Try to speak with Pat.
