C32 AMG front end collision idea's for upgrades?
So today my 2002 C32 AMG was in a front end collision in a parking garage, long story short guy came around a corner texting in an suv and hit me. I'm new to Mercedes and I'm looking for idea's for upgrades now but I'm particular to oem fit and finish. Mainly I'm looking to upgrade my headlights to either C55 or CLK headlights but I'm not 100% what fits and what does not. I'm also thinking about upgrading the bumper cover but I'd like to stay oem, are there any covers I could upgrade over my C32? I appreciate in advances for any help or pictures.

a car.
Just get clear W203 Bi-Xenons, they look great. Aftermarket bumpers are available from Morello, Rieger, and there's a very crazy one on ebay. You can get a CF lip if you put another stock bumper back on there.

2003+ C32's had Xenon's with clear lenses and projectors. I don't know if they're Bi-Xenon. You can buy Depo's off ebay quite cheaply as well. However, like everything in life, you get what you pay for.
FYI, CLK/C55 front end parts will not fit C32 (bumper, headlights, grill, hood fenders, etc.)
If you're going for the clean look, I would suggest stock bumper + a CF front lip. Personally, I don't think any of the aftermarket bumpers really suit a mercedes.

I 100% agree with you, but sometimes there are nice examples of urethane aftermarket, euro and oem bumper covers from diffrent models. I'm new to the whole mercedes scene so I'm trying to gauge what's out there for these cars, I appreciate all the advice.
The newer clear style projector headlights are plug and play, or do they require wiring?

I'm sure. You're in Germany right? I'm sure everything is different over there compared to North America. It's common for US/CAN cars to use reflector headlights as opposed to clear. For some reason N/A cars love using nasty reflectors and orange side markers.
