Bra for 02 CL55

I am looking for a bra for my 02 CL55. I would appreciate any input, recommendations, or suggestions. Clearcoat is peeling off the upper and lower front bumper and am not ready to address that issue right now. I just want to cover the problem, but I want it to look OK.

Thanks,

Well, I gave up on my search to find a bra so I'm going to undergo the expense to have her painted now, rather than wait.

I am also looking into having a radar detector install and a tint job done. I would appreciate it if someone could give me referrals/recommendations (based on first hand knowledge). I would like to find someone in Eugene or Portland, Oregon area or northern Calif. to do the detector and tint work; I am using my MB dealer's recommendation on the paint work.

Thanks, guys

What do you think is causing the clear coat to peel ?

That's a good question. I'd probably guess maybe having the car in sunlight for too long? However my LS hasn't had that problem and it's been in direct 100F+ sunlight for nine years.

I don't know what caused it. It's only on the front bumper. The rest of the paint is fine. I'll post a reply to that question after the paint guy takes a look at it.

Good deal. I'm just guessing here:

Do you drive at 150mph+ in acidic air?

How many miles do you have on the vehicle ?

Your car may still be under warranty. I would have your dealer look at the paint. You may be able to get it covered under warranty.
