No more than 2000 - 2500 with paint job, just my oppinion, but you need to see the car in person to see some ocult damage (engine - tranny - walls, radiator, ac condenser, oil pan etc) but looks good, i think is not evolve in a major colision

What tha h... is that trunk spoiler??' i never see that.. damn, looks like a aircraft wing!! maybe it can fly! "E55 amg"

Those ducktails cost almost a grand, they look terrible without the rest of the kit though.

Your answer is: Get the hell away from it and let me have it I need another turbo w210 candidate.

The funny thing is, it would be cheaper to get the FAB body kit rather than MB USA getting the front bumper. Problem is, not many people like it other than stupid kids like me:

96-99 kit(cant find pics of the 00-02 but its pretty much the same, gotta love those bench seat bumpers lol):

I got a quote for $2,200 for a new AMG bumper with paint from a quality shop. I think it was about $1,200 for the bumper, $1k for paint and labor (remove, paint, install). You could buy the bumper online for less and, since black is fairly forgiving, take it to a cheap paint shop (Maacco) and probably get done for $1,200 to $1,500.

You could also probably put on a non-AMG bumper (much cheaper), if you don't care. I think it would fit, except the fog lights would be different (would need to replace them or put in screens).

I would get a replica bumper made from either PP or PU plastic. It would be significantly cheaper and they don't pose any real problems, it just isn't a factor AMG kit. Honestly, who cares unless it looks different? It serves the exact same purpose.
