What are my choices?
My sister's W204 (C350 Sport) was involved in a wicked accident last Friday. She was hit in the rear right wheel/quarter paenl and spun into a telephone pole. The damage looks substantial, but there's a chance the car may not be totaled. She walked away without a scratch, thank you MB safety.
Assuming the car isn't totaled, what options do I have with regards to:
1 - Availability of European Front Bumper - eliminate side markers
2 - European Headlight Housings - eliminate amber corners
3 - Avantgarde/Sport wing (fender) badges
4 - Brake/Suspension upgrade or Improvements from Europe
I figure if the car is repairable, why not take advantage of the situation and try to go OEM+ with it?
Thanks in advance.

No offense guys, but 50 views and no leads?
I'm new to the MB community, and short of chasing down the big names, I don't know of any aftermarket suppliers, especially OEM German parts.
Any help is appreciated.

1 - Buy an OEM US bumper and have the holes filled and then sprayed.
2 - Buy stealth bulbs ( Ebay )
3 - There is a seller on Ebay that sells the Avantgarde badges.
4 - Brakes if I'm not mistaken are the same on the US and EURO C350 ( Or replace with BREMBO or C63 AMG set ) What are you trying to achieve with regards to the suspension?
