AMG front bumper mesh grill ???

I have an aftermarket AMG bodykit getting painted. I went to see the progress today and the entire kit has been primed and sanded a few times to get a smooth surface it already looks great (has taken forever but oh well). Once painted and put on the car I will post some pics. But one thing I am missing is the lower front bumper mess grill. Does anybody know other than the stealership know where I could get one? I would even consider a used one???? here is a pic so you have an idea.

Thanks

Is it that expensive at the dealer? I needed one for my 2001 S55 and, while I don't remember what it set me back, I don't think it was exorbitant.

My dealer wants $300 and change for it....I thought to myself "it is a mesh screen??" if I have to then I will order it but thought someone here might have one laying around the garage if they updated there cars look.

I think I paid ~ $150 from my dealer. I wanted it to fit correctly, so that was the best source.

Honestly you are better off just going to the dealer rather than waiting for one to pop up. It can take months and it is not really fantastic driving around in a uncomplete car, especially one as nice as yours. 2nd hand you are probably going to be looking at near-dealer prices anyway, just fork it out and get it done right.

benz junkyard....

You can go to your local benz junkyard or pay the money. I was in the same stage a couple of years back but I could never find all three pieces in the same condition. It ran me close to $3-4 bills for all 3 and the clips at the dealer for the 06 mesh grilles.

Maybe these could help you... at least you can search by the part numbers, but all I found on the internet were Russian web sites listing the part numbers and parts descriptions....

These are for a 2002 W220 w/ Code 772 AMG STYLING

A2208850053 CENTER COVER $145.00
A2208850153 LEFT JOINT C $97.00
A2208850253 RIGHT JOINT C $97.00

I can't believe Mesh screens cost that much f**king money?? For that plastic piece?

Honestly, I'd go shop around some car tuner shops who do grilles and such and see if someone can duplicate it with mesh grill. You can probably come out with something even a bit nicer and more unique possible while still retaining that OEM look. I don't see why it should be more than $100-$150?

they are metal, probably aluminum because they are flexible somewhat. not plastic. Anyone have the center piece or cheap place. somthing tore a hole in mine and almost took out my oil cooler again.
