Congrats to your wife...Do you have the mesh grill insert? Yes, it's repairable. Sand down effected area, buy inexpensive kit (auto stores) follow the directions. Good as gold. GL

IIRC the grill insert will hold the lower fascia parts in alignment. The you can go ghetto like @OldManAndHisCar suggests. We had a 2004 CLK500 that was less than perfect that we did similar repairs to. It depends on how perfect you want to be. Those lower bumper fascia take a beating on city streets. If you decide to go with a body shop, find an indie who has access to recycled parts - new ones are expensive.
