SL350 2012
hey guys, have a small issue. Check the photo, part of the silver thing has broken off from the front of the car.

Think it was the car cleaner guy being bit too harsh with it.

Does anyone know what its called? can it be replaced? how?

car is sl350 from 2012

ok thanks for that.

so annoying just a little bit has broken off.

i would asume mercedes would charge quite a bit to fit
 
There are some good pictures here… 03-11 Mercedes R230 SL500 SL55 Right Passenger Side Hood Vent Grille Grill OEM | eBay
It would appear there are 4 clips, 2 each side, near corners; the clip in below picture is broken.
There are also 4 holes for some kind of fastening.
These clips must be released from the underside of bonnet, I’d say its easy job if you knew how.

What’s the “button” in the middle of your broken grill for?

Might the 'button' be to house the a/c sun sensor?
 
it would have been good if just the silver spike thing could of been replaced instead of the whole thing!
 
Put up a picture of it from the underside of the bonnet.

Sorry cars in garage for some maintenance.

Had a quote for the part at £55.00 from somewhere online.


Mercedes say its about £200 for part and fitting from them
 
still on the hunt for this at a "cheap price" - would pay 50-60 tops really
 
How much is the part, without fitting, at the dealers?

Buy the part online (also check with the dealers for supply only price) and take to your nearest reputable/recommended indy for fitting, job done :)
 
Hey guys, I am still looking for this part! I know this thread is old but didn't want to create another.

Can anyone help me out? My local mercedes garage is quoting £250 including fitting
 
does anyone know how I would find the exact part number for my car? I have the VIN

The chrome slashes are stuck down with tape so need lifting up then there's a couple of bits and some clips. Make sure the one you replace it with has the tape on to help stick it back down.
