Some Di*K Hit me
some people have no shame, somebody backed into me at my local home depot and just left. They hit me at a good clip also, they
!. broke my grill
2. broke my hood latch opener
3. move my hood about a 1/2 to the side but it still opens
4. broke the cap to the headlight cleaner nozzle
5. Now when my a/c is on the two fans in the front of the radiator are clanking against something..
anybody care to guestimate what the bill will be on this?
thanks

not sure how much this will cost u, but if you're hearing things from your radiator, you should get it taken care of ASAP in case you're radiator gets worse or breaks (could be radiator fan or engine fan rubbing up against radiator, may cause crack or break radiator if you drive like this for too long), in which case you'll overheat and the bill will be way more $$$ if you need a new radiator; hope this helps and good luck!

As to the above question, it is most likely the horns that are making contact with the radiator fans. There is very little clearance there, so with front end damage, this could be one scenario.
Sorry about the damage

1999 CLK 320
Grille 172.00
Hood catch 23.00
Hood hinges 52.00 each x 2
Headlight washer cover 12.50 unpainted
Auxilary fans 169.00 each x 2
Auxilary fan shroud 98.00
That should cover it. Looks like about 747.50 if all the above is trashed. Prices are list so they are a worst case.

VERY, VERY sorry to hear that some A-hole did a bad deed to your car and left without saying anything.
I just had my car repaired after a self-indulged mind fault. I had a grill and the only part that was needed was the hood release.
They bumped out the lower part of the hood and removed everything to pull out the core support, repaired a little spot on the top of the bumper. They repainted the bumper and touched up the hood (clear coat on all). They charged me $1500.00 to do the work.
Listing what you said that was needed I would guess the total would be in the $3500.00 area.
I did an interview type selection for my repair, asking them what they would do to repair the damage. Be careful and don't forget to be a pain in the a** , after all YOUR THE ONE WITH THE MONEY!!
Regards,
Ed
