Look at line 6041.
The catalog is a little hard to navigate and I think a little pricey, but....
JJBumpers part number: 2086200586
Benz Part Number (not sure on this): MB11983FRO
I am missing mine too. I have heard alot of people putting that mesh 'gutter guard' stuff in there painted to match or painted black or whatever. I think that is the route I am going to go personally.
I hope this helped.

Hey whats goin on I cut the mesh out and did 3 coats of flat black but i want it on the outside of the vertical bars that give it support. Unluckky, thanks though, i saw that site before but never knew which part it was.

Again I used thick galvanized steel. Rigid enough to support its own weight and shape. My center three support bars are completely broken in half but it kind of made it easier for me since there was some flexabilty in the center. Once I measured my actual grill height I just bent the screen into a "U" channel shape with a steel hammer. A rubber mallet would not do the trick with the steel. Next I measured depth and trimmed only the very center six inches or so to that depth then from that point to all four corners you trim it at an angle to almost a point. For the ends that meet the fog lights, my length was about center of fog to center of fog. I used the paint can and a sharpie for a half circle pattern but I found myself thinking about having a big gulp cup or something. Three perpendicular cuts in the edges to allow a smoother bend to match the bumper curvature and the rest is pretty much bend, stretch, pull and make it the shape you like. I bent a rounded face in mine with a little more right by the fogs but the flat looked cool too before I did it. I washed it down with superclean twice and painted the heck out of it. Six heavy duty black zip ties and a fair amount of pressure while securing it at the corners and in the center to the support bars. My finished product was more "C" shaped than the original "U". It keeps the edges from gouging the bumper. If I ever get the time, I was going to take it back out and coat it black with that plastic/rubberized shop tool coating. I think about three bottles would do the trick. Here are some closer photos of mine. I hope this can help some of you guys.
