Underbody damage – please help identify parts

Hi folks, regarding my 2001 C320, I hit a concealed curb and damaged the front right underbody. I need help identifying some of the damaged parts and their OE numbers so I can buy them online.

The right front mudguard tore off completely onto the road, and the plastic engine tray tore off one screw and is cracked. Both need to be replaced. When I looked under the car, I saw a thin metal strut/brace/bracket at the front right had snapped, and the larger metal strut/brace/bracket that it was bolted to had bent backwards (see photos). A thin hose is connected to this larger strut (power steering cooling hose?), but seems to be intact.

Would you please help me find the OE numbers for these parts? I live in an apartment near Paris and cannot easily get under the car, and scanning through engineering diagrams at http://www.everythingbenz.com/z/mtyp...atics-drawings is proving unhelpful.

Plastic engine tray – A2035240401 ?
Front right mudguard – A2038810423 ?
Thin metal strut/brace/bracket – ???
Larger metal strap/brace/bracket – ???


Front right mudguard completely tore off

View of two damaged metal struts. What are these parts, what are the part numbers?

View of two damaged metal struts. What are those parts, and what are their part numbers?

A hose is attached to the larger metal strut, But seems to be intact

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks. My problem is that t can’t identify the two metal brackets from under the car, or from diagrams. Can you identify them (and parts numbers) from the photos??

Gee Ben...To me, your photographs to my unprofessional eyeball...show possible major issues! This could be "cost prohibitive" for repair. Meaning, monies spent for complete frame repair may very well exceed the value of this car...Have a qualified body shop evaluate...Then plan ahead.
