I'm pretty sure the whole front end is one piece. All the way up and over the headlights. I went in and had a quote, when I had my clk. They wanted $1400 to replace it. You may be able to find it cheaper, but this place does all the work for some local benz dealers.

yea, the bumper itself it 1 piece, with the exception of that little insert/spoiler piece in the middle... retail for the oem bumper unpainted is about $1,700.

Might be cheaper and less risky to have a local outfit fix it. That's what I did and it's all good. Good luck.
Found a splitter (bumper insert) on Ebay if you need one:
