Unhappy Grille badge

So someone backed up into my car while it was parked and cracked the mercedes badge on the grille and also chipped my bumper. Of course the person just drives off like nothing happened. Do anyone know where I can get a replacement badge? Dealership is going to be my last option.

Funny thing was every time I drove my car out, I was garage parked. The only time when I parked my car on the street, I left a huge space in front so that any car would be able to fit without coming near my car. Apparently, some people just don't know how to park.

O yeah my grille got pushed in and it took me nearly a hour to put it back in place. I really hate people some times.

How much damage do you have on your grille? How big is the crack on the MB star?

You may have a hard time finding the center piece MB star that goes on your grille... you'll be better off just buying a new one. There's a quite a few aftermarket grilles on the market that is available for the W204.

There are a few scratches on the grill but nothing too bad. The MB star is cracked. I'm not having any luck searching online but I'll try my dealership tomorrow. From what I've seen online, the MB star costs about $50. If that's the case then I might as well just get a whole new grille. I've seen some on ebay for as low as $100.

Actually I found one. Although I'm not totally sure if it'll fit but it's going to cost $30 w/ shipping.
