Front bumper lower insert

Hello all,

I just lost this insert possibly from a pothole or a carwash. Not sure. NYC roads are really harsh. Anyway if anybody knows where I can find one of these, it be most appreciated. It's for the CLK430. I assume the piece just snaps in as I couldn't find any cracks or breaks from my bumper. Thanks in advance all.

welcome to the life of owning a W208CLK....that is one of the many little pesky problems you will encounter.

ebay is probably your best bet to find a used one.

Rare on eBay, expensive at the dealer. The insert has small loops that you can put black zip ties through to secure your new insert.
