Exclamation Engine Cover Benz Star? Which one?

Like everyone else my star came apart. I thought for sure it was the CLK trunk logo but It doesn't fit correctly.

Can someone be so kind and post up a link. Need to get her ready for the spring

Thanks

Read this I just ordered 2 of the stars from KO Performance for $30 total (including shipping). Both of my E55's are missing them.

Arrow

So today I figured I'd try the CLK rear star deck with crazy glue seeing that I already purchased it $14 but it didn't really fit right but almost .... well needless to say F A I L

Next attempt
mfletch69 <- what he recommended

I drilled three holes in the shroud and I then cut a piece of ABS plastic from a scrap made 3 matching holes and glued it to the back of the shroud with PVC glue...stuck the pins through the holes in the shroud and the peice of ABS. Eureka. So far so good.
