Doing a facelift

I am about to start a facelift on my 13 SL550. My car only has 7,000 miles and the parts that are coming off are very nice quality. If anyone can use headlights, tail lights, front fenders, hood, both bumpers, side skirts please let me know. I’m not looking for a lot just want to be fair. My paint is Mars red, so of course it’s peeling on the sheet metal parts but not on the plastic.All the lights are perfect. I have photos of everything.
I am located in CT any can ship to you.
Thank you

European was always fun to stop by as they had an eclectic mix of classic MB, BMW, Audi and new lifted jeeps

FYI, I purchased a taillight from him and the entire process was smooth and quick. Provided me an actual shipping cost (not inflated) and my light arrived very well packaged and in only a few days. I installed the light this morning and it looks and works great.

I would buy parts from him again if needed, so if anyone needs something fscir60 has you can be confident in buying from him.

Many thanks fscir60
