i just recently bought a CLK430 AMG Coupe and i was wondering one thing if u look at the car from the front between the foglights it looks like there is something missing there u can see right through, ive looked at other cars such as on ebay and noticed some of them have a bar there and some dont.
my question is, is there supposed to be a bar there and if so where would i get one from, because it just doesnt look right to me.
thnx
Zak

 

Yes, there is a bar but I'm not sure where to get one I have heard that they go for around 200$.

 

then how would there not be one on mine it doesnt look liike it ever had one since there are little slits of bars 3 of them one on the left, on the right and in the center doesnt look like somone could even rip one off

u sure all of them have it from the factory cause some of them on ebay do not have them but just on coupes?

o and r u talking $200 around there canadian?

 

That bar is a trim strip for the airdam. If you bump a parking stop or a curb it is extremely easy to jar it loose enough to fall off. If the vertical bars that it mounts to aren't cracked, the new one can be zip-tied with small ties to prevent loosing it again. Tough break, it's an expensive misfortune.

 

I bought my CLK about 6 months ago. When I took it to the dealer, he told me some CLKs were designed like that. Yeah right...

I need a new one too. If anyone has any idea of the part number or where I can get one at a reasonable price, that would be great.

 

ok but the weird thing is it doesnt look like there was one ever at all because nothing is broken or cracked is it true that some did not come with them>?

 

Someone posted a blown up photo on here before but I did a quick search and didn't come across it.

 

nothing is broken because nothing has to break for it to come off.... that piece pops in and pops off.... not a great design...

 

could i pick one up from the dealer? if so how much do u think estimate im also in toronto so canadian prices would help

 

From what I've heard, they cost around $280USD, around $350CAD

 

that sounds about right... its a pretty expensive piece to replace...

 

and yes, you can purchase one from the dealership...

 

well u guys are right i found out today its $366.20 canadian plus install


but anyways thnx for ur help guys i appreciate it

 

that part is called a "splitter". email any of the firms on ebay that sell CLK bumpers...many of them have them for sale and sell them separately (not on Ebay - I'm not sure why)...that's where I got mine for a little over $100.

 

Just purchased mine and had it repainted last week..Yup $280 bucks for a fricking plastic frisby...what a crock.
