2002 Mercedes C32
Unhappy Need a good body shop in Maryland

First, the story: My C32 has a small boo-boo (my daughter's word, not mine). It seems that sometimes the vertical rebarb stakes used to hold/position cement parking bump stops in place, are not flush with the top of the bumper stop (my wife's story, not mine!). Anyhow, the lower front facsia, driver's side, got hooked on the rebarb and cracked the facsia. Pretty clean break, so it looks very fixable.

Does anyone have a good contact for a body shop in the Baltimore/Columbia, MD area? Any recommends are much appreciated.

Wagon Work Collision

Wagon Work Collision in Alexandria, VA specializes in Benz, Audi, BMW, Porsche. I highly recommend them. My little brother got his audi S4 kit installed there. They did a beatiful job. No dust, No orange peel...

I'm getting my rieger rear valance and Carlsson Front lip spoiler installed there later this year. They are the best in the area.

something similar happened to me as well.

I basically cut through the lower part of the bumper.

I am not sure if yours is similar but because of the tension of the bumper fitment the break usually causes the two pieces to come together and jut out a little over time.

I ended getting a new bumper and it looks much better than a patch up job. But then again I am pretty **** about that stuff.
