Inlet manifold

[Matc350]

Hi all
Need some advice PLEASE!

I have a 2007 c350 v6 petrol and have the following issue.

good old Mercedes used excellent quality materials on their inlet manifold...NOT
So I am trying to fix the actuator arms, whilst taking the manifold apart I have noticed the plastic swirl flaps are damaged and some plastic parts are missing(god knows where they have gone).... I am struggling to find any details or parts lists for the manifold itself online.
Worry I may struggle to find replacements.
but have noticed a swirl flap delete is an option I wanted to avoid, but now my options are limited if I can’t find the parts needed.
So would a delete be the best option now?

many help greatly received lol before I pull the little hair I have left out ha

Unfortunately that was the bit I was fixing. It’s the bits inside the manifold itself that’s also broken.
because I had to take it apart to fix the arms.
Have searched everywhere and very little info, beginning to regret buying the car now!!
