My recently acquired '08 ML550 has the "772" AMG styling option. On the lower front bumper cover, at the bottom near the middle of bumper, is a rather large somewhat rectangular hole that seems to be missing its cover. It's definitely not the small tow hook cover.

I reached up and felt around the rim of the opening, and there feels like there's a place to secure a nylon tylok to hold the missing cover in place. Yet in scouring the EPC, I am unable to come up with a part number for the presumably missing cover.

So my question is do all '08's with the "772" option just have an opening at the bottom middle of the bumper cover, or is there a part number that someone can share?

If you are referring to the rectangular cutout about 3" by 4" offset to the passenger side, mine has it too. I have no idea what it is for.

Yes, that's the opening I'm referring to. Very strange, and there does not seem to be a cover plate for it. I'm going to put the ML550 up on a lift this weekend and see if there's any obvious reason for the opening.

A pic would help a lot.
