Front Grill Insert help.....

I know this is a minor issue, but it hurts to see a MB missing something. Can anyone steer me in the right direction as to finding this part. Looks like the new one would just snap right on, or would I need screws and/or bolts?





Thank you in advance...

Tow hook cover?

I think the part you are looking for is a tow hook cover. GermanStar has them but does not have a picture on the web site. http://germanstar.net/210bod.htm You may want to call them to see if that is the right part.

It just snaps on. There are two rubber "brackets" that allow you to remove the covers without misplacing them (I know because I broke them). The previous post probably has the right part, but you'll still need to get those rubber parts so you don't lose the cover again. The dealership should have them.

Looking at that would bother me too. There have already been 2 good suggestions made. GermanStar.net is a trustworthy source and is probably less expensive than most dealers.
