Front bumper issue

I have a 1999 E55. There are tow hooks behind the bumper. There appears to be 2 plastic flaps that cover the tow hooks. These appear to be right next to the fog lamps.

It looks like someone ripped them off my car. I called the dealer and he wanted $300 a piece unpainted!!!!

I have goggled a number of Mercedes parts places and no one seems to carry them.

Any help on who to contact would be much appreciated.

Tow hook eye cover

Thank you for the info, but that part is for a 320/430. The part for the E55 looks different. I can not beilive the part is $300/piece and I need 2.

Anyone know of a site that might have aftermarket or used parts. I will not pay $600 for 2 small pieces of plastic, but I do nnot want to leave the opening exposed.

I might just try to make the parts myself.

Any help would be appreicated.
