Default Broken plastic clip...

So I bought my 05 xfire coupe (used) and didn't notice till a couple weeks after I had it that the plastic piece on the inside of the door that says the air bag is there was broken. It's the clip that is about 1inch by 3/4inch (grey). It says STR Airbag on it or something. Either way, I checked at the dealer and they said that little clip was $75 because it was a Mercedes part! Anyone know a place where I could get one cheaper than that?

Thanks!

I think you mean the SRS badges in the doors.
Don't know where to get it in the U.S., but in Europe you'll get a aftermarket pair in chrome finish at 25 EUR (approx 35 USD plus shipping...).

Wreckers yard, real cheap as they pry out easily when nobody's looking.
