SL55 with P30 package: need Auxiliary oil cooler baffle

Looking for the baffle only. It’s a plastic piece that sits behind the oil cooler in the AMG with the P 30 package. It basically takes the air that comes through the oil cooler And redirects it through the fin slits on the passenger side bumper. i’ve called all over the country to Mercedes Benz and parts dealers. Nobody has one. Even Mercedes in Stuttgart Germany doesn’t have one on the shelf.

Wondering if someone would know the measurements of the baffle, as I can have one fabricated and 3-D printed. Thanks in advance

Is it a piece of white plastic that you are referring to? If it is, I had my MB AMG mechanic remove it, as it looks astatically out of place. Before doing so, I asked him what purpose it served, he said none.
If I had known its purpose, I would have left it on!

i’m not sure of the color, but it may be black. It is 26X 26X 20 cm in size, not very big. It sits between the oil cooler and the slots or fins on the bumper, just in front of the Passenger front tire wheel well. Would it does is channel Hot air Leaving the oil cooler out the bumper And away from the brakes.

I am surprised my mechanic did not know its purpose. I have issues with small cracks on the brake rotors and I am sure that being missing is not helping that issue. Thanks for the info.
