Need a center mesh grill--- Some A-Hole stole mine

As I said in the title, I need a center mesh grill. The grill is held in place by, what looks like, 6 little plastic things. I need the center mesh grill and 3 of those 6 things. How much should I expect to pay? Anyone in the area have one? I don't mind buying used, as long as it's in good condition.

Thanks

Man I wish I would catch some SOB trying something like that on my car. It has been a while since someone has 'fell' on the ground 10 times by accident in front of me. Best of luck on your search.

Sorry to hear that, sad to know that you can't park your car in public without some punk stripping it.

I would suggest buying all new clips for it. I'm sure they cost pennies, and when someone just pulls the grille out without depressing the little tabs, the ones still on your car will not hold properly.

Unfortunately is an MB so it's not pennies, try $2.25 each from the dealership.

Thanks for all the responses, $2.25 each? ****ing thieves. How much should I expect to pay for the center grille itself?

The outer fog light ones are $110 so the middle I think is $250.

I was so pi$$ed about the mesh grille I somehow didn't even realize that they took my front license plate!!!

Now I need the mesh grille, the plastic license plate holder (that MB charges $60 for) and I need new plates. In L.A where do I report stolen plates to? Police department or the DMV?

I have no idea where it got jacked. I noticed it at my house one night. The license plate was attached to the mesh grille.

I have an plastic front plate holder you can have. It is black but you can have it free. Oh, and also, I need someone to ck. out an 06 E55 for me in the LA area. Maybe you could help me out.
