Hi,
if you call Mercedes you will need a VIN number. Look for a 2003 Slk 320 for sale online and use that VIN, that's what I did.
The part number you're looking for is A 170 680 07 87. (A is the designation for parts used on American vehicles).
If you can't find one in Vanilla, then I would suggest getting a used one and there are companies out there that can make a correct match paint for you.
Also, you might find this helpful. It's a link to all of the repairs I have done on my Crossfire. There is an index of links under the pictures at the beginning of the thread.
These cars aren't that hard to work on, so I do as much as I can myself. Here's the link:

Best of luck to you,
