Look on eBay.  There are a few listed occasionally.  Type in 113 grill or 230 250 280 SL grill.  Prices vary quite a bit on these.  Here is a link for the search I just did.

Hello PMO,

IMHO: Keep the old ones.
The new factory replacements are supposed to be made of plastic and no longer made of aluminum - and expensive.
Try to fix yours, get them welded if necessary.
Unless you want to try to find some out there in the web (ebay or elsewhere).

Good luck!

(glad to have kept the old bent grill screens)
