HELP! Need replace black plastic honeycomb mesh on AMG front bumper!
Driving in So. California today I hit a large piece of a blown tire. I couldn't avoid the collision as it came from under a car in front of me so I hit it with my front bumper. Came home to see a lot of rubber marks on the lower part of the bumper but most of them came off nicely with wax and cleaners. The worst part that the black honeycomb mesh right above the lower lip got hit pretty hard and broke in several places. It will need to be replaced.
Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the mesh without taking the whole front bumper off the car? I assume that the part shouldn't be very expensive (since it's just a plastic piece) but labor cost could run up very quickly if the bumper needs to be off the car. Please share any insight on the subject.
Thank you.
