CLA45 pre facelift front lip...

Good day.

My front lip is original piano black, but after 30 000km on the road in germany it is now faded black.

I was going to take it off yesterday and I found the 5 clips under the bumper, but I still feel the lip is still attached very hard..

I got a tip that you could take off the whole bumper to remove the lip, but is this seriously the only option??

Picture would help alot....

thanks!

If you find a guy who specializes in touch up paint on scratched bumpers, the guys who use air brushes, he can tape off and mask the front of the car and repaint that gloss black and clear coat it. Then you could put paint protection film on it. Many car dealerships have a vendor that does this kind of work. My dealership just did all of this for me when I was getting a service.

I know I could have done that.

but I like to do as much as I can by my self. Both for the pleasure of doing it by my self, learning and detailed end result ✌
