Well the first thing is that you are on the CL part of the forum and not CLS. Having said that, see if they can repair the bumper and if not I would suggest getting the OEM one. The fiberglass ones are junk and will crack. Your choice.

Fiberglass is junk and should not be used as a replacement. I will ask my friend how much he can get his CLS bumper for.

Depending how bad it is, a skilled shop can plastic weld it back together and repaint. Really depends on the damage.
