What am I missing here (pic included)
Just noticed this the other day. Looks like I'm missing the small grill insert and another piece.
Can these parts be replaced or am I screwed?

Since I'd essentially be paying close to a 100 bux for these items and have to get it painted to match, are there any bumper upgrades I should look into. Wouldn't mind having a more updated look

Just had to fix simlar parts on my car.
You need the Tow hook cover (it will need to be painted), The plastic grill piece that fits behind the tow hook cover and 3 slide on fasterners.
The plastic grill piece fits onto the rear of the tow hook cover (it mounts over three mouting points) then use the 3 fastners to hold it together. After that the assembly fits into the bumber cover.
I buy my parts from Phil Reinhart at PeachTree Parts +1 (888) 333-4642.
As for maintenace (your other post) here is the schedule I follow:
Oil and Filter 6 months or 7,500 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Cooling System Flush 5 Years or 60,000 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Brake System Flush 4 Years or 48,000 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Transmission Flush and Filter 5 Years or 60,000 miles
Power Steering Flush 4 Years or 48,000 miles
Spark Plugs 5 Years or 60,000 miles
Air Filter 2 Years or 24,000 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Cabin Filter 2 Years or 24,000 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Windshield Wiper Blades 1 Year or 12,000 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Fuel Filter 5 Years or 60,000 miles
Check Belts and Hoses 6 months or 7,500 miles![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Change Polyrib belt 4 Years or 48,000 miles
Brake Pads last 40K miles, front rotors 80k, rear pads 80K YMMV.
I have had my car for 10.5 years with 97K miles and hopefully 97K more!
