I NEED A NEW FRONT BUMPER!!!!!

Hello,

I need a new front bumper to my 2000 CLK 430. The one that is currently on there is holding on for deal life, because I keep cracking it by going forward too far in my parking spaces... and the cement block keeps getting caught under the bumper. I know, I gotta stop doing that!

What is the best option? Buy a new one? Get it fixed at a body shop, or tape it up (which I have been doing)??? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

PS it's reflective tape that's why it looks all bright because of the flash.

just replaced mine for the same problem. shops around here refused to patch it because they guaranteed it would just tear again. Getting the bumper off is fairly easy with the DIY on here. the only problem i had was getting the main mounting bolts transferred to the new bumper. 100 bucks and a body shop did it for me no problem.
