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: My journey with my 2006 roadster
Best of luck to you,
John
