Cracked AMG front lip
I accidently cracked my front AMG lip last night when parking. The crack is clean and about 3 inch long. What kind of glue can I use to repair it? Is the lower lip a separate piece or it came as "one piece" with the front bumper? Thanks.

Its all one piece and glue isn't going to work. You would need to epoxy it.
I also have a crack, and I looked into it, and there is really no good way to fix it properly without pulling the bumper off, epoxying it, and repainting.
I used touch up paint to cover up the plastic that was showing and its hardly noticeable.
I figure when the front bumper gets enough rock chips, I'll just buy a new bumper and have it painted.
sucks...

I had a 2inch crack down the bottom center of my AMG bumper. I just put some crazy glue on it. Some might argue, but i've had some idiots tow the car on a truck going up the incline on a flat bed, and the chain caused the bumper to flex do to the angle the chain was pulling and had no problems it didn't crack again.
