W204 C63 Front Bumper - Lower Cladding/Cover

[GazzyFizzle]

Hi Guys,

Driving my C63 to the station this morning, and as i was joining the A14 on the sliproad, a lorry in front kicked up a big branch/log type thing, and it's clattered my front bumper.

I was devastated as I haven't had the car long, so feared the worst when I got out. However, it's not too bad. It's just a scuff/mark on the front lower cladding/lip part of the bumper.

I tried finding out what the deal was with this piece of the bumper, and I think I'm right in saying it's just a 'cover' which can be removed?

It's part number 18 on this diagram.

Has anyone got experience of this piece? How easy is it removed?

If it can be removed, then I'm winning, as my buddy in the spray shop can fix this up for buttons.

Eagerly awaiting some good news

Gary

Should be able to remove it by opening clips behind it? Looks easy on diagram.

Perfect!! Replace it with a carbon one

Just vinyl wrap with carbon or matte black.
That piece of trim gets loadsa stone chips marks anyways....

IIRC that part joins to the grill so it's a matter of pushing down to unclip the whole thing, think bumper may need to be pulled forward a tad though? Unless I'm thinking of a different part

I had a quick look online, and someone wanted $600 for a carbon one, WTF?
