E350 Front End Collision Home Repair
Accident with truck, front end took some decent damage.
Put car on jacks, dropped front bumper, removed headlight assembly
These Hoses Are Cracked
Can you guys give me some part numbers or advice for the hoses?
Can my hood be fixed/dent repaired?
Anyone in the Los Angeles area that can serve us parts for this repair would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Why not use insurance? My guess is you'll need a new hood, grill, bumper, light(s), and maybe front quarter panel(s), Probably $5k at least.
I had to have my front bumper repainted due to a tiny ding from a GL's hitch in the dealer's lot, it was $1k just to get it smoothed out and painted.
Don't know if MB hoods cost in the same ball park as BMW. but I had to have my BMW hood replaced (several holes rusted through), it was $3500 for a new hood, paint, and re-painting the front bumper so it blends in. Luckily BMWNA paid for it under their rust warranty. Took about 3 weeks for them to get a new hood and misc parts (gaskets, seals etc) in from Germany and to get it painted. I was in a loaner all that time.
