Leased, a big no no. If you can get someone to cut it really well, its not even noticeable. Tell them to cut where the kit curves up so looking from behind , the extra hole is hardly noticeable.

nope, no way. leased car is a big no to do mods!

might as well buy a used (same body color) bumper and do mods from that, wont cost you a lot.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Absolutely not. The most in mods you should even think about is bolt-on exhaust tips, wheels and tires (no suspension), and maybe a flip out dvd/nav that can be replaced. Honestly, doing anything else will get you a LOT of extra charges.

Do the mods, then change them before you turn the car in.. In this case buy a spare bumper.

easy!

I agree with Sauce and would cut it. My bro just purchased a rear bumper with the cut on it, it's difficult to see the cut unless you get on all fours and look under the bumper. If at the end of the lease your still worried about it, trade your amg kit to a member for a stock kit + $$$.
