Is this repairable? should i repair it?

Hey, just wanted your opinions on the following. A month back i managed to damage my rear amg bumper and only now do i have some time to give the car in to a body shop. My question is should i get this fixed or just get a new bumper? If i do get it repaired is there any chance that the damage will re-appear in a few weeks or months? Did post on the w211 forum but did not get any response. If anyone has a bumper they are willing to sell and sent out to the UK let me know or if there is any place i could purchase one.Thanks in advance.

you should be able to get it repaired and repainted. And no it shouldnt come back unless the shop repairing it doesnt do a good job.

If repaired properly it should be undetectable forever. What other AMG "stuff" do you have on your car?

Thanks for the opinions. I will get some quotes although i went to one body shop and the guy told me to just get a new bumper and that the fix was too much work.

"NXtremeJeep" I have a factory fitted amg kit including quad exhaust and wheels and is debadged so no e55 or amg badges anywhere on the body. Looking to get the real thing soon or maybe a c63.

The best way to fix a cracked bumper is to find a body shop with a plastic welder as it will make for a very strong and durable repair.
