Where is the best place to buy the lower passenger side mesh screen/grille for an AMG bumper?

That's what I will do if I can't find one in a salvage yard, but that's crazy for a little mesh screen that has a tendency to fall out!

I am in the process of replacing my entire lower center grill mesh to the tune of $395.

They don't come cheap.

Hi Joseph:


This one is 270.00, number 20. Is that the part you need?

You can find the center mesh fairly easily! You can also find the drivers side mesh at a decent price, but not the passenger side!

They just snap into the retainers, which is why they probably come out so easy! How did you loose the middle Joseph?

I hit a salt dam on an exit ramp and it ruptured the mesh grille. I'm comfortable with my body guy replacing this for that price. He has helped me out a lot with my other SL's, and he always does extra stuff. He will be installing my new trunk lip in April or May when the Cold Tundra ends @ N/C.

Thanks for your help and research guys.
