Front end damage repair - suggestions
So I finally decided to takecare of my 2007 C230 with 152,000 miles for the front end damage. What is the most cost effective way to fix all the damage in the images?
Thank you

As to the bumper:
Heat gun + bondo for the second image.
Plastic welder of some sort for the first one.
Google 'plastic bumper repair weld' or variations thereof.

I would think that it would be better to just get a used bumper cover and replace the whole damn thing. Anything else is just a band-aid that will look like ***** eventually.

Yes, that or the usual suspects - ebay or Potomac; they're on the east coast, but if you're not having any luck, they could be a last resort. Shipping costs would suck, though.
