Who knows where to find grills???
I have a SLK with a sport package that has a unique front fender. My fog lights are round and not that letter "D" shape. Well, my fender has 4 mini grills that fall out constantly and cost a fortune to replace. Does anyone know of anywhere on the internet where I can find some after market ones that wont cost me an arm and a leg or look ghetto-boo-boo?
Oh, and who else SCREAMS every time they park their car too close to the curb and get their front fender hung up and practically ripped off!? LOL

Thanks Ken but I couldn't find it. It's this part (attachments). The part to the left of the plate. Don't laugh! I know it's filthy!

I have a guy that gets me dealer parts practically at cost. He told me that each of those little grills costs $130!! In Houston, if your car sits still long enough, some part will turn up missing (which is where I think the original went)! Last year I had some jerk steal the star on my trunk at the rodeo!!! I don't see the point in paying for MB parts for something small like that if it's gonna get stolen. Grrr! ME if someone messes with my car again!!! -->
thanks
thanks

Hi when you do get one use a nylon cable tie to tie it back to the metal frame behind it so when it falls out especially when washing the area you dont loose it and if you use the right colour you will not notice it

I just bought a 320 Sport, and the first thing I had to fix was the lower center grille. I couldn't figure out how to keep it from falling, so I finally used 2 nylon tie wraps to hold it in place. The 3 grilles don't look that great, so I plan to paint them black.
