Damn!

I'll give you $50 for the bumper with all the mesh grills and everything

DJE55 · 04-25-2011, 07:23 AM

Tough break! Good news is you are ok and now you can mod that front bumper for a fraction of the cost.

no way...going to see if the body guy can repair the bumper and the hood..

i just need the headlight and the grille now..

everything else is ok...

Quadcammer · 04-25-2011, 02:59 PM

don't you have insurance?

Viet_Amg408 · 04-25-2011, 05:22 PM

i don't drive it much, so it was only liability coverage only

...Lesson learned

ShangoAshe · 04-26-2011, 05:42 AM

no worries but it definitely looks like you're on the ball and seems like you're getting lots of parts so thats good news for sure!

Viet_Amg408 · 04-26-2011, 03:07 PM

not really..i took everything apart and did some metal works..

rubber hammer and sand bag

...

talked to the bodyshop guys..hood need replace and bumper can be recondition..

Viet_Amg408 · 04-26-2011, 03:09 PM

too bad no carbon fiber hood for our w220

danlnyc · 04-26-2011, 03:12 PM

if the fitment is good and you are gonna paint it then i say go for it

if you are leaving it carbon then its a NO GO!

Viet_Amg408 · 04-26-2011, 10:31 PM

VIS.. is well known for good fitment ..

and not going to painted..maybe in future..

seven11 · 04-26-2011, 10:39 PM

not painted will look ricer-ish

but do as you like

Viet_Amg408 · 04-26-2011, 10:43 PM

LOL..IT'S NOT RICE..

mrbenzes · 04-27-2011, 09:05 AM

I can see why you wouldnt want to paint over it, but...It may be good with no paint on a Black car, but not silver....Why not just get a used hood from a salvage yard? There are more and more W220's that are winding up there...you would still have to paint.

Quadcammer · 04-27-2011, 02:07 PM

the headlights are gonna sting. they are expensive as hell.

I agree that an unpainted CF hood on an S-class would look very bad and out of character.

Viet_Amg408 · 04-27-2011, 04:12 PM

Im still not sure about the hood..can't even get a hold of the company...

for the headlight..
ebay.. $300-400

ShangoAshe · 04-27-2011, 04:30 PM

The hood i say do what you want its your car; but in the end at least you have the option to paint it over if you don't like it!

The lights, I would avoid ebay ones because the seals, fitting, and electrical are never perfect so the time and money you're spending to get them to work isn't worth it. I'm sure there are one or two odd ones that work perfectly but i'd rather get salvaged ones than ebay ones! just my opinion
