Replacing front bumper
I scratched the bottom part of the front air dam (bumper) yesterday driving into a driveway with a steep ditch.

Does anyone know if I can just order a pre-painted front bumper to replace the damaged one and how much?

It would be even better if I can just replace the bottom lip of the front bumper (the portion under the fog light). Is this possible?

You can order one from MB dealer but you have to get it painted yourself. The part cost @ $250.00

Yes, it is just scratched near the underside of the front air dam.

I am thinking about just having it repainted, but that part of the car feels like fiberglass or plastic material and not metal. Can they repaint over such material?

Any thing can be repainted.! especially fiberglass and Abs plasatic.,... just ask a good body shop ask them to fix it with bondo. and repaint it...
where exactly you located in CA....body shop in bay area should be able to fix and repaint it for you at around 100 dollars.! any thing more than that is a rip off

mtimmy, I would be willing to take my car into the city to get it painted.

If you have the contact number handy, can you post it.

Thank you.
