Someone backed into me doing some moderate damage to my hood and grill. I got a new grill (with the emblem in it, so now I have the hood/grill emblems ). The hood was bent right above the passenger side headlamp assembly. Looking at it after they repaired it it does not look correct. Would someone be able to tell me how much of a gap there should be between the headlamp assembly and the lip of the hood, and also between the sides of the hood and the front quarter panel.

Just wondering if they bent it back correctly.

Thanks!

Oh, and I plan on getting a badge to replace the standing emblem soon, any suggestions?

take some pics so we can see how yours looks

Yeah man take some pictures. I had a small crash in the front end of my car On the driver side. Looked perfectly when i picked it up. But when i was looking closer it was all misaligned i was just happy to get my ride back. It took me a good 3 hours unbolting the hood and fenders & other frame parts to get it perfect again. It bugged me so bad that i had to correct the error the body shop didn't wish to fix. Take some pictures and i should be able to tell you which parts you need to unscrew to get them to align correctly.

Also you can get a new mercedes badge at the dealer ship for 23 dollars. Ask for the W204 flat badge
