Popped the front bumper cover after a low speed bump

My C450 slide on the ice in my driveway and hit a stone wall. Very little damage with the Mercedes logo in the grill being the most significant part. However the bumper popped out of the clips on the passenger side. How difficult is it to push it back into place or should I take it in to the shop and have them do it?

if it is ripped then you might need a new cover.

No rips or cracks fortunately. Not even scratched.

I pulled up too close to a high curb and when I backed out my bumper got caught and pulled it away from the clips. I tried everything to "pop" it back in but had no success. Eventually I took it to the dealer for repair. Cost about $100 bucks. Won't make that mistake again.

I've done it a time or two with my Shelby, I'm much more conscious about staying away from car stops and curbs now.

Same... the E550 Cab is pretty low... after doing some good underneath damage i had to spend a half a day straightening it all out...

A Heat gun and clamps worked wonders to get it back to shape...
