Well, I got scuffed - Any suggestions?
Real Bummer, Well after not seeing 
a deeper than usual manhole on the street and the car body went low enough that the front bumper bottom, bottomed out on the driver's side
. - a pretty good sized scuff mark on that side - see pics below. That is not a hole on one of the pics, just a dark spot. The AMG Front Spoiler took the brunt of the contact. As you can see it is not really visible form above, but it is visible form the side if one happens to look at the front wheel on that side.
I am thinking that I can probably paint it with:
the appropriate sandpaper, a little care, and the following:
12 oz Aerosol Spray Paint, 2010 Mercedes-Benz E Class: Palladium Silver Metallic 792 AER-BC $19.95 $19.95
12 oz Aerosol High Gloss Clear Coat AER-CC $7.95 $7.95
12 oz. Easy sanding automotive GREY AER-PR-Grey $7.95 $7.95
12 oz Aerosol Plastic Parts Adhesion Promoter AER-AP $7.95 $7.9
or replace the front bumper cover ($400 (recycled) - $700 - $800
)
Anyone have any other ideas or helpful hints? Besides being a bit more careful with potholes and manholes

If you had a black car you can just put a peice of black vinyl on the bottom of the front bumper. Protects it and looks like it belongs. Ive been meaning to do this for awhile now lol.
Maybe a Vinyl shop will have your color.
