Question Need to buy some SL500 body parts

Hi friends of MBWORLD,

I´m new here but I have used some advices to correct my sl 500 troubles.

But I need now to make a direct question, recently I´ve had a crash , the car structure and engine were not compromised, but the front lights, front bumper etc were destroyed

I´m looking for a MB original parts seller in the US, I know no one there since I´m from south america, Chile, and I´ll intend to import directly the parts I need.

why?
because here the reseller charges me the same as I paid for the SL500 ( 40 grands), to repair the damages.

I´ve have found some autoparts seller until now, but an advice from you will be greatly welcomed!
