Just noticed that underneath the fog lamp I have a nasty tear into the front bumper panel(makes me sick). Anyway, I don't believe that this can be patched up as the whole panel appears to be one piece from one side of the car to another? Appreciate any comments and would you know the part number that I could purchase it myself(how much is this?) As my dealer will probably charge me an arm and a leg to get this replaced, or is there another way around this expense? Although out of the way, it's noticeable with several tears and one at least 7" across. I am so Pissed!!
TIA

Thx..but I am not sure how the parts you mentioned relate to the link you enclosed? Would you know how much the part I actually need is?

“underneath the fog lamp” Find 20 & 40 in the upper portion of the diagram 10 in the lower portion, I think these are the corresponding parts you will need as you do not specifically mention left or right side. Depending on how deep the cuts are you may also need the frame behind the bumper. As far as cost start by checking with your local dealer. Also enter your state via the link provided to see if there are any MBUSA certified collision shop(s) in your area to get an estimate for repair. Then you will know where you stand to either repair yourself or, at the very least, obtain an average cost to have someone match or better to have the damage repaired by a shop.
