Hey guys, I would really appreciate any advise on this matter. Yesterday, I was parking my S55, and as I was inching into the spot, I cracked the bottom of the bumper on the curb. I wasn't paying very close attention, and that was stupid of me. Does anybody have any advise on how I can fix this? It really is not noticeable at all, since it is really on the bottom of the bumper. My main concern is if the crack can get bigger. I will get pictures of the damage as soon as possible. Please post your comments.

Thank you.

the crack won't get bigger unless you hit the curb again in the same spot. A bodyshop can fix it fairly easily.

Thanks for the good news. I am new to cars, since I just got my first car a few months ago. I really appreciate it.

Yea this always looks worse than it really is. My Dad with his S430 SPORT did the same thing but more than once, his was cracked on both sides. There is special bondo/epoxies you can buy at a automotive store that can repair the cracks. I repaired his and painted and cleared it all for less than $40 myself BUT I do have previous experience. A good body shop can fix it. If they suggest they need to remove the bumper it becomes expensive. they told me my dad's bumper needed to be removed to be repaired but that was not true. The repairs I did have lasted over a year now with no failure.
Good luck

So someone pulled up in the parking spot in front of me and did not stop until they could not go any frther because my car was in the way.

Accidents and stupidity happen, what can I say.

So I am thinking of going to an upgraded front bumper now and I am wondering if I can get some input on options available.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Anthony
