so all the tabs on my grill are broken

on my 04 sl55. i just got it, and i noticed the grill was loose, i opened the hood and every tab is broken. i suspect the bumper was painted and it probably happened then. anyway, i cant find an aftermarket one besides this one listed on ebay.

i like the later model 4 bar one, but from what i see in searching the forums, it doesnt fit right. what options do i have?
