Men, I did not know I was so attached to this car! Honestly.. Insurance wants to total it. I want to keep and fix it anyway.. because I love this car.
The front is damaged pretty bad but "not too bad", still fixable, I believe. The only question - PARTS. Where to buy them, guys? I would go with used original or aftermarket-identical-quality parts. ANy suggestions, help?
For start, I need both Headlights, Front Bumper, Hood, Right Fender, Grill, Radiator.
Any help would be very appreciated! HELP!!

i believe you can total the car out, and buy it back from your insurance company for 2,000-4,000 dollars, take that money and buy the parts, ebay has radiators for 144 +10 shipping, you can find the big star grille on formymercedes.com for 175 dollars, headlights from 265 to 800 depending if you want the cheese grater headlights or original, ebay has unpainted fenders on there for 199, if you had the amg bumper ebay has it as well for 249, as far as the hood i thought i saw someone on this forum selling a stock hood.
your looking at 1,200 for parts including shipping, the radiator,grille,and headlights shouldn't be too expensive to install, but the hood fenders, and bumper should, so im guessing your looking at anyhere form 2,000-5,000 depending on how much you are charged by the mechanic

Just not a fan of the big star grille...doesn't look right IMO, but everybody has their own taste, I'd get the black grille personally.

i personally dont think it looks right on w208's neither, but the big star grille was more easily available on ebay and other sites.
