Source for Center Grill Mesh Insert?

I had an unfortunate 80 mph encounter with some road debris, which took out the mesh insert and broke the plastic retaining clips on my S55. Anyone recommend an aftermarket source for replacement part(s)? I refuse on principal to pay $425 for OEM.

Just fyi, the plastic retaining clips you mentioned are called Push Button.
Part No.: A 002 988 51 81 for my 2003 S600 with Sport Pkg. There should be 13 of them in total. 5 for the center mesh I guess.

Few of mine are broken and I could see the mesh loose a little bit. I need to replace the bad ones to prevent losting the mesh.

Hope it helps.

Howard

Thanks! They're available for purchase separate from the mesh?
