Hi,

I have a "98 C280 and had a fender bender at 5mph which broke the front left headlamp and damaged the fender trim a little. I'm currently short on money and was hoping I could fix this myself. I'm generally good at this type of thing if it's not too technical.

I'm enclosing pics and would appreciate any suggestions, including any recommended sites from which to order the parts.

Also, what is the silver trim on the bumper called? It's cracked and I would plan on replacing that too.

Thanks for any help. It seems to me that this is a pretty minor job, and it doesn't have to be perfect, just has to be put together. A few scratches aren't a problem.

Thanks.
Dan

Those silver one's are called chrome bumper trim, you can get them on ebay and so as the corner and headlights.

Parts.com has great prices for OEM parts.

Sorry to hear about the ding. Looks like the wing has moved also . Do a search to find out how to remove the bumber (4 nuts and 2 minutes work) its real easy and then you can see what has been damaged behind the bumber.

Dang sorry to hear that man. One is the left is a headlamp molding under headlamp (primed) and the bumper left Garnish Molding (Chrome molding).If yo buy the LT Headlamp assy for like $150 OEM Hella aftermarket, it comes with the turn signal too. But I am converting my C230 into a C23 (lol). I already did the rear, but still need the front. If in like 2 months you haven't gotten the LT Bumper molding, ill send it to you but u gotta cover the shipping since ill have my front C43 bumper on my car and will not have any need for the C230 Elegance front bumper.
FYI i have the rear bumper LT, Center and RT chrome moldings too if you are in need of them.
