I'm pretty sure the only way to do that is to get the whole bumper. The mesh won't fit since it's designed to fit around the quad exhaust tips.

I have to agree, I wanted to do that to, but I was told I had to get the whole bumper as well.

you can just bring the mesh to a body shop and they can cut it to fit in the bumper.. i've seen this done on an sl500

The mesh can be purchased seperatly, as its a seperate part
from the AMG 55 sport bumper. It will however not fit as it is
much shorter than the black plastic piece on the existing 500.
This is due to the 55's having quad tips. Best bet is to get a
body shop to cut a new black mesh piece and have them fit it
on your car, or replace the bumper and mesh insert.
