GedaBlaq

Guys,
I've searched the threads for over an hour now @ work (duckin' the boss) for a clue as to where to get this on the aftermarket, with no luck, please help. I don't know how or when the hell it happened but I stopped to gas up and noticed that I'm missing the front bumper psngr side fog light grille mesh. During my search, it appears that everyone who's lost one, lost the psngr side, hhmmmm. Anyway, Beast looks CRAZY! Gotta fix it. Stealership quoted me 145 bones! I'll be the first to say that we choose to drive an elitists vehicle and therefore should be prepared to absorb the higher than average repair/ maintenance costs, but $145 for a piece of mesh? DAUUMN! Any advice/ help or bend over for the Stealer? Thnx guys.

I think I can get you one for $95 which is cost but you will have to pay for shipping from Ohio which wll probally be $12.

Sounds about right. I had to replace my driver side when I ran over a blown out retread tire. Fog Light, plastic mesh, and temperature sensor mount cost about $625 installed...

MUCH THANXS emoving!!! Even w/ shipping, that still saves me $38. BTW, bought my Beast from Germain Mercedes in Columbus back in August.

DAUUMN citylightva, guess we'd better increase our truck following distance to 8 car lengths..

citylightva

No doubt, I avoid following trucks period. Some lady cut me off, then moved over right in time for me to run right over it..

GedaBlaq

OUCH! I know you wanted to put both feet right up her exhaust!

citylightva

Yeah I was in REDRUM mode...It was even worse after I saw the damage...Funny thing is my CEL came on just because my temp sensor was reading like 145F for the outside temp..LOL

Hey Gedablaq, just called, they are $114 now. I cant imagine it is more then $10 to ship from Ohio to Il.

GedaBlaq

Thanx a billion emoving. Bad news for now, just got the 2yr old's ear infection bill in the mail; $1,738.78! Guess what's gotta wait
Have no fear tho, I WILL be contacting you (soon hopefully) when I've recovered. Again, Thank you so much man, I'll stay in touch.

emoving

No sweat. I may even be able to get them to do MB to MB shipping to your dealer so no shipping charge.

I hate when stupid ish happens like that. Last week coming home in the Acura a mud flap broke off a big rig, kicked up and smacked the front of the hood and the front right side of the fender. It left a small dent which I can live with and the black marks that it left I just rubbed them out with a light rubbing compound. I hope you have a sense of humor........... but if you had a E55 you would have been able to get out of the way

citylightva

Hahaha...if only yeah I mean, I was definitely pissed then, but life happens...I think pretty much everything stupid that could happen to my car has...it's like the Money Pit movie...the worst part was she blocked me in next to a van so I couldn't even swerve... life, what can ya do...?! Plenty of humor here, I just get sick of the petty bickering on here sometimes

Busta Riles

I'm assuming not, but if the side mesh in the E55 is the same part# as an SL55, i have one for you.
