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.

I know i've seen this OEM part on eBay for $380 USD or so....but as far as getting a deal on one, the only place I have found are scrap yards where you might find a wrecked S class you can take the screen/s from......
I would beware of the non OEM parts on this one.....

Wow this part is hard to find huh. I just took mine off so I could do a paint correction detail to my baby and decided to pull out all the mesh before.

Thanks guys. . .Not that it's hard to find, just ridiculously expensive! Why not aftermarket? Seems like one area where you could get away with it?
