part number for rubber piece under the front bumper

does anyone know about the frequently scraped and misplaced "chin strap" is that the right terminology.
I know the Porsche folks have a fairly inexpensive piece replacement for this as its a known issue?. anyone?.

Are you talking about the L channel piece that is riveted onto the bottom of the front of the car? If so I had mine come loose. I ended up using bolts and nuts with bigger heads to re attach it to the car. All is well now.

thanks Katie22 - Mine is a bit roughed up cosmetically from the previous owner I have a 2016 edition 1. I think if it’s attached too firmly and takes a hit it may damage the nose. I had asked about a skid plate similar to the Ferrari and Lambo’s - some cautioned me. S

Very common part, any MB parts dept should be able to have within a day or two, as there are plenty in USA.
PN is 190-885-00-00
you also need the metal rivets that hold it in place, there are 8 of them needed, PN for those are 003-990-94-97-64
A technician needs a special metal rivet tool to install new ones, old rivets must be very carefully drilled out.

let me know if I can be of further help.

Dear all after a couple of attempts to affix it back onto the L-channel, we decided to remove it as it serves no functional purpose from what I can see other than Aesthetics
