OEM hood and grill prices?
I recently got into an accident in my gf's 2002 C320 sedan with sports package, and there was damage to the hood and the grill. EVerything else seems to be fine. However the hood is tilted towards the left, when looking directly at the front. I'm not quite sure if there's structural damage to the frame, but I highly doubt it since it was a low mph collision.
There's a dent, about 1.5 inches wide and rougly .5 inches deep and the paint is cracked exposing the primer. It might be possible to use a dent puller to pull it out...but in case no easy remedies are avaiable,
1)how much is it to replace an OEM hood?
2)how much is it to replace an OEM front grill (the plain, star-less one)
3)are there any online dealerships selling parts for at-cost prices?
4)are there any online aftermarket places as well?
Before you throw throw the n00b card at me and search, I already did that...and didn't come up with anything helpful. Mind you...I'm a poor colege student so I'm trying to find the cheapest solutions other than getting a used hood and grille from a junkyard.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post

I know that MB dealers have a body shop, but I'm wondering if it would usually would be cheaper to go through an independent shop rather than a dealer?

Call your local MB dealer up, they'll give you a price quote.

Do you know any aftermarket solutions?
