Needed -- Screw for Air Filter Box -- Facelifted W212

Hello all,

I installed the UPD kit and dropped a stock air filter box screw. The screw found its way into the front bumper area. Short of taking off the front bumper to find it (if it's even still there), I was hoping somebody would part with one of theirs.

I searched for the screw on parts sites and it appears you have to buy the entire airbox (doesn't look like the screws are sold separately).

Thus, if anybody upgraded to a different intake system, and can part with a stock air box screw (one of the four that hold the two sides of the air filter box together), I would be willing to pay for it and forever be grateful.

Please let me know....and thanks!

I contacted Shardul. He doesn't have an OEM screw, but stated he could send me one of the longer ones that I could cut down.

I guess I am being too **** in wanting a stock screw. LOL

I will just check my local hardware store for a similar screw and go from there.

However, if somebody does have a stock screw, let me know. :-)

Yes, for when/if I install the stock air filters.
