Let the girl freind borrow the car :/
Hey guys How's it going I hope it's going great with our benzes, so the GF asks me to let her borrow the benz so for the first time I let her use it since I'm the only one that drives it , she goes to the mall to bring lunch, I go out to help her and guess what she cracked the bottom of the bumper by the splitter the crack is about 4 inches long , she told me she went over the concrete barrier in the parking spot , we'll now it rattles when i go over a bump and seems to have been pulled alot , I guess off to the body shop on Monday, can't really get mad at her on her birthday

Now you can think what her anniversary can cost
Those cars do have low front. I bottomed up yesterday at gas station driveway.
Don't think classic body shop can help you. You need to find a shop that specialize in plastic repairs or shop junk yards.

From the picture looks like a clear crack.
I had good success repairing such with Crazy Glue.
You can try to do it on the car, but definitely would be better to remove the cover, close the gap with blue masking tape, stand it up on front and glue from the inside.
That would be multi-step gluing process, but if you do it right, the repair will be pretty invisible.

If you know a CA shop who can match MB paint quality for less than house 2nd mortgage, I will want to hear about it more.
Good luck on the repair.

Can you take a picture at different angle and hood for comparison?
The 1st picture shows some skin, what might be the picture.
