crack in radiator support baffle
I removed my front bumper today and noticed a crack in the plastic support baffle by the lower radiator (part # A 209 505 08 30) . Pic attached.
How critical is this? What if I just leave it as is?
The part snaps off easily, and OEM replacement is $27 at the dealer, but they cant get it until next week (meaning I'd leave the bumper off and not drive it)
If it's fine to leave it, I'll just get the part and install it next time I need to take the bumper off.

Not critical. It just directs air to the oil cooler. Fine to drive.
