Replacing Chrome Accent on SLS and GTS Sport
Posted: Sat Jan 11, 2014 4:18 pm
So I've noticed a crack in the driver's side one for a while now and it's really starting to bother me. The chrome isn't pierced, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time, and then it will start to flake and look ugly.
I think the damage happened when the previous owner didn't see how much of a dip there was in the road and the front scraped pretty hard. I think the flexing caused the accent to snap internally.
I cringed because I was riding with him to the bank to finalize the paperwork on the car. 
It seems like this piece would be part of the front bumper, and maybe there's a way to change it from the back if the front bumper is off. I thought it might be easy to access via the underneath, but after looking at the for light adjustment procedure, that seems like a dead end.
Any ideas on how to repair this without too much pain?
