Some ***** hit the front bumper of my car while it was parked. Its pretty bad, there is a complete piece broken off on the driver side, right on top of the foglight mesh. How much would it cost to replace the complete bumper. Im still debating if I should claim it from insurance, or pay it off myself. The last thing I want is a claim on my insurance record.

Sounds like its not repairable, which means CAD1,400 if buying from your dealership. I guess its better to ask your insurance company to pay for it.

Btw, have you got the wheels on your car yet?

Its not your fault so claim it, you can prob make some money too wont have to pay more if any for a brabus bumper. b/c the CLK500 bumper to replace will cost you over 2500, (parts + labor + paint) so in my opion, you should claim it and get the Brabus front bumper.

Brabus front bumper: about 1500 (depending who u get it from)
*I got mine straight from brabus cost my 1515

Thanks for the advice. I think I will let my insurance handle this.
