You are, I think, speaking about the intake duct or baffle attached to
the bumper cover - not the cooling intake cover on the back of the alternator.
Mine was missing too along with the hose and clamps. It had been a well
maintained, one owner car. I'm wondering if this part was deleted from
production at some point, perhaps for improved alternator cooling. Anyway,
try another dealer. Mine knew what it was without a P/N and had a couple
on the shelf, an extremely rare occurrence.
