Missing/broken bumper screen ..
Driving home late last night there was a cone in the middle of the road .. didn't see it until the last minute and to late to swerve ...
Put a small crack in the front bumper and the screen cover that goes in the lower center area of the bumper is missing .. Looks like a relatively cheap part (<$20) . my question is does anyone know if this just snaps in? |
Just snaps in.

The plastic anchors that hold the screen to the bumper are probably broken, too, and will likely need to be replaced. If you buy new from the dealer you'll get new anchors along with the new screen. Unfortunately it costs WAY more than $20. My dealer gave me a discount and it still cost more than $100. You might be able to buy a used screen online or from salvage for a lot less but that takes time and effort to track down, plus you'll need to come up with replacement anchors. Good luck! |

Had a similar issue with my SL. Yes, it just snaps it.

Thanx all for the heads up .. glad it's just a simple snap on ... This is the standard bumper .. not AMG so maybe that's why it's so much cheaper???
Hopefully they can express ship it .. I don't want to drive the car with the screen missing as small rocks can damage the oil cooler ... |
