Price for front bumper of Kleemann? Please!

How much does the front bumper of the SLK 55K S8 cost. I have a crack in my SLK 55 AMG on the right side right under the light. It is about a foot long. The guy at the auto collision was telling me a new AMG bumper would cost $2000. So instead of putting all that money into that bumper, I was thinking of getting the Kleemann SLK 55K S8 bumper. So how much would it be and if paint job is included or not. What is the total price for ONLY the front bumper and paint? (My car is black)

Kleemann only provide the lip kit for SLK55, so you still need to get a new AMG bumper to put the front lip on.

If your existing bumper is cracked in the bottom portion, then what you could do is get the Kleemann lip (I wouldn't be surprised if it sets you back $1500), get it painted for another $500, and then get it installed on your bumper so as to cover the crack.

Got any pictures of how bad the crack is?

Nowadays you can do some miracles whilst repairing bumpers, and a body shop may actually be able to fill in the crack portion with a bondo like substance and sand it down for relatively cheap.

Only $525? Ah, that's not too bad. I remember buying my Brabus lip for about $500...

The Kleemann one looks a lot more complicated tho', so I was thinking it might be a lot more expensive.

Lol~
I personally have the lip on my car and I have to agree with you that it hiden the round curve under the front spoiler. That is my main reason of buying on of these. It help to hide the round bulky curve under the spoiler. I personally think with the lip it create sharper lines and more agressive look. Well, might be over done to some people, but I love it!
