A W177 front-lip quote should identify the lip itself, any canards or corner pieces, and the vehicle’s present bumper. The A35/A45 W177 catalog shows three front-lip entries followed by separate air-blade and corner items. A finished-car image can show several of those components together. It does not establish that buying one lip supplies the whole front-end appearance.
W177 front end: documented catalog choices
| Reference | What the catalog distinguishes | What to establish for the quote |
|---|---|---|
| Items 1–3 | Front-lip alternatives | Choose a specific image and item number rather than asking for “the W177 lip.” |
| Items 4–5 | Side/front air blades | State whether these are wanted as additional pieces. |
| Item 6 | Front corner pieces | Identify the left/right supply scope and how they relate to the selected lip. |

Build a W177 front-end quote without missing the corner pieces
Give the customer two explicit scopes instead of showing a complete front-end photograph beside a lip-only price. These are illustrative purchasing scopes, not prevalidated kits.
| Scope | Include as quote lines | Leave outside the base price |
|---|---|---|
| Lip-only proposal | One selected front lip from items 1–3 | Items 4–5 air blades and item 6 corners. |
| Extended front-end proposal | One lip, the selected blade reference, and item 6 if wanted | Any unselected blade design; installation and freight unless separately stated. |
| Replacement component request | The exact damaged component reference | A complete front package unless individual supply is unavailable. |
- Choose one of the three lip references; asking for all three as one set makes the request ambiguous.
- For each additional blade or corner line, state whether the customer wants one side or both. Do not infer a pair from the photograph.
- Before showing a package price, compare the component list with the customer’s marked inspiration photograph and identify every visible piece that is excluded.
This lets the buyer reduce scope knowingly. Removing optional corner pieces is a visible purchasing choice; leaving them out silently creates a different expectation.
W177 front end: application boundaries
Split the customer’s request into appearance and application. For appearance, circle the preferred lip and any extra corner details on the catalog. For application, record A35 or A45, the production details and any bumper conversion. Obtain underside photographs of the proposed parts before estimating fitting work. Matching weave and gloss are separate requirements: selecting nearby catalog rows does not establish that they form a visually matched package.
Illustrative workshop decision
Example: a shop prices a front lip from one row but shows the customer a photo containing side blades and corners. The customer expects all three components. Avoid that dispute by writing three quote lines: lip, blades and corner pieces. Mark an unwanted line “not included” instead of leaving it invisible. The customer can then approve a simpler lip-only job or a larger package knowingly.
W177 front-end package request: example inquiry
Example inquiry — W177 front-end package request
Reference: A35/A45 W177 catalog, page 1, selected lip row plus items 4–6 as required.
Requested scope: List the lip, blades and corners individually; identify any overlapping pieces.
Add the actual vehicle details, quantity per selected line and delivery destination. The reference and scope above are an inquiry example, not an accepted order.
The customer should be able to point to every included component in the sales picture. A single package total is acceptable after the itemized scope is clear; it is not a replacement for that scope.
W177 front end: buyer questions
Do A35 and A45 labels guarantee the same fitment?
No. The catalog grouping helps find options; the individual version must match the actual bumper.
Does a pair of canards come with every front lip?
The catalog lists these separately. Ask for a packing or supplied-contents list.
Should the shop quote installation from the front photo?
Use it for styling selection. Obtain product-specific attachment information before finalizing labor.
