2000 CLK 430 front end bumper assembly

Can anyone suggest the best option to replace my front bumper assembly or parts of it including the center strip that is attached by pins going around the bumper in the middle of the assembly horizontally. I will of course have to buy or salvage that since it is missing. My assembly is damaged both underneath where you can see separation and the assembly has pulled away from driver fender and is holding on by one screw.

I will also need a front grill which is dented/broken. I see some have removed the swivel MB emblem on the hood with a grill emblem/kit.

Thanks for any suggestions

I replaced my whole bumper when it tore because no shop in this land of 'maros 'n' 'stangs would try to repair it. Post up some pictures and maybe someone can help you.

They all have the same issue. Aftermarket bumpers will take a lot of custom work to fit properly. The easiest route is to buy new parts and replace. Maybe you can find a used one that is repairable. Fog lights are not expensive, but the bumper parts are.
