W166 ML Plain grille alternative ?

[NotAnumber]

I'm not a fan of the grille on my W166 with its large central star. There seem to be a variety of alternatives grilles around but all ive seen have the central star.

I've previously always had Mercedes with classic type grilles and its a look i greatly prefer. Id be interested if anyone has managed to modify a grille from another Merc model (E class, S class etc) that could be feasibly adapted to fit the ML with a bit of modification.

I don’t recall seeing one, whether adapted or aftermarket. Would painting or wrapping the star black make it less visible. I have seen that done.

Though that would be very straightforward to do it isnt the look I am aiming for. The elements of the grille would still be visibly wapped around a large central prominent circle even if the star was disguised or removed. Instead I'm looking for something that is plain all the way across, in the way say a 221 S class grille does.
