Plastic clips that hold AMG mesh grilles

Anyone know a source for the plastic C-like body clips that are used to secure the mesh grilles to the bumper? I don't want to buy replacement mesh grilles just to replace a few broken clips.

Any ideas?

Absolutely. you have to buy them from Mercedes. Go ahead, you have to do it. A dollar or so apiece.

Oh, I didn't know they sold the clips individually by themselves... I thought they only came bundled with the replacement Mesh grilles. cool!

Price them at the MB dealer and let me know the cost. I changed out my stock SL55 bumper for a SL65 bumper so now I have the clips (10 of them) and no use for them. I will sell them at a real bargain priceI don't think they were only $1 a clip.

I found my receipt over the week end. $5 each at the dealer.
Those who have expressed an interest PM me with your address. I'll sell them for $2 each and I'll pay the shipping.
