airdam broke! any alternative replacements?
Needless to say, i'm pretty upset but the bottom part of my airdam is cracked and the car is less than 6 months old =(
It's not that noticeable but as an alternative to going ghetto and supergluing the crack, what's the cost of replacement? are there any aftermarket ones out there that wouldn't look funny on it's own without replacing all the other ground effects components?

Mine is cracked as well. I got a quote from an authorized MB repair shop for $1600 to repair it (lots of labor), and something like $2200 to replace it. It's on my list of things to do.
How'd you crack it?

C32 AMG
There was a place in Texas that repaired them for about $300. That was for a C32, but I can't image it would be any different for yours. I have the contact info at work. Will share with you all on Monday if interested. Im thinking of going through insurance as well to just get a whole new one rather than a patch job. We'll see...

this shouldn't be too hard of a DIY fix. what i would do is take the front clip off, use j b weld epoxy along with some raw carbon fiber to strenghten the crack area on the inside.
do u have pix of the damage?
