01SL500: Need a piece for the front bumper

I just bought my first Mercedes, a 2001 SL500 with the AMG appearance package. It is missing a part from the front bumper on the driver's side (Part # WAA1298800305). Although its not used for towing, i believe it is called a Tow Hook Cover.

The local dealership wants $382 for the part unpainted! Does anybody know where i can find it cheaper. Unpainted or colored, i don't care as i can easily paint it myself. Thanks.

Unhappy WA denotes AMG Package. The part number must have it

Unfortunately, that's not the right part number. I emailed www.parts.com to confirm and the part number has to have the WA in front of it, which denotes that it's the AMG package. Without the WA in front, its the wrong part and won't fit. Damn, i got so excited too! Thanks for trying.
