Help! Mesh Grille replacement

Hi guys,

I had an unfortunate encounter with some tire thread on the highway yesterday. This one ripped my grille off of its clips. Fortunately the bumper didn't sustain any more damages, but the car is without the front center grille right now.

I've been looking at EPC and it seems for my VIN, the replacement part says there's no match. I have a 2009 E350 with the sport package (AMG styling bumper).

Can someone assist? I am not sure if I need 2118851253 or 2118851153 or 2118851353.

Thanks so much!

Found this on parts.com. Doesn't give a part number.

You need part # 2118851253 if you have the amg sport bumper.

search amg grill clip on ebay. Think I picked up 12 for $15-$16 shipped. Make sure you find an auction for multiple pieces. Some places try to sell for $10 each clip. Ridiculous. I believe all the amg/sport mesh grills use the same clips regardless of model.
