Repair an R230 Mercedes front tray that was flapping about at speed. I suspect that one of my parents ran it onto a parking stop, said “Oh Crap!”, and immediately reversed rather than using ABC to lift the body first, and THEN reverse.

I can almost never go to any store without hearing the all-too-familiar scraping sound of someone running their front tray over a curb.

It’s in reasonable enough shape to pop it back in place.
Although an armored beak on a Prowler would be pretty interesting.

It’s pretty much the reason to own one
