NO LONGER ACTIVE
It looks like the AMG-style bumper on the V8. I think if I were you, I'd have the whole bumper repainted as normal, then use either PlastiDip or vinyl film (maybe carbo fiber look?) to add the accent.

I think it looks good. Either vinyl the black piece or have them paint it on.

I would have done that a long time if my CLK wasnt black. It looks good! And you might wanna use a wrap or plastidip just to be safe. just my 2 cents!
