I had noticed that one of my front caliper covers has fallen off (or was stolen?) and was wondering if anyone knows how much it might be to replace. One of the main issues I have here is that the caliper cover's bolts didn't come off completely along with the cover itself (there's 2 bolts and one is stuck in the caliper itself). I've tried to use pliers but can't seem to get a grip on the bolt.
Any suggestions on replacement and/or removal of the stuck bolt would be much appreciated.
I've attached some pics of the caliper with the missing cover and what it SHOULD look like on the other wheel:
brake with caliper cover
brake missing caliper cover

Bottom bolt is stuck, but looks like the top one came cleanly out

Bump for this. I've been looking for replacements as well since mine have faded and been scratched up and I like the subtlety too. I'm about to overhaul my brakes and would like some shiny new ones. Anyone have a PN?
I just did a full brake job on my A207 2012 with AMG sport brakes. On my car those covers are NOT bolted in. The cover has pins on the back and there are circular clips on the pins.. It is just a push in interference fit. Those covers appear to be made of aluminum so not all that robust. I had to gently tease them off with a flat blade, working on both ends.
the last pic looks like the top hole is not threaded for a bolt

We're just looking for replacements. I searched til my eyes bled, not a replacement part. I decided to just sand and repaint mine and just use a stencil for the MB lettering.
