I sent my CLK55 through a small dealership who owns a body shop (hit a pole head on). the place is called 'legend auto'. after i got it back, i couldnt tell it was in a wreck before, and i like to think i have a sharp eye.
though the very best one in sac is called...*****...i forgot..but mercedes benz of sacramento takes thier cars through them. just give them a phone call and they will refer you to the body shop im talking about.... the shop is located on Fair Oaks Blvd and North, i believe.
i hope all is well with you and your car! and yes, try to get an AMG 63 bumper!

CLS55 AMG
Sorry about that dude. Always look at this as an opertunity to upgrade. So when the car is done, you'll be glad to get it back. Oh, I think from your pictures, your SC pulley look dented and if you have trouble driving your car, then ECU may be shorted too.

2004 S55 AMG
Damage seems minimal and confine to the hood and grille. I had the same damage to a maxima( can't find the pics) but it took about 3500 to fix parts included. Now since it is Mercedes consider twice or triple to repair. But like everyone said make sure the shop does go work. If not you will be in problems later.

Several MB's Superperformance MK III Cobra
I have had work done by Cook's. They do all of Mercedes of Sacramento work. They seem to specialize in high end cars and my experience with them has been very good. The last time I was there to have them repair some chips in the paint put there by MB of Sacramento, they were painting and installing a Lorinser body kit on a CLS 55 and a S550. The work is top notch.

Happened to me the other day as well. 
Some moron not paying attention pulled out of a parking lot in front of me without looking. I swerved to miss him and took out a little street sign. No airbags or anything deployed. I'm fine. Car needs some paint I think...

2005 Flint Grey E55
I talked to my body shop today and he said he can order the parts and install it if i get him the part numbers.
So if i want the E63 look on the front end all i need are the part numbers for the bumper, headlights, and foglights. correct?
and if anyone knows all the part numbers of the things i need in the front to have the E63 look that'd be great.

Another Question to the PROS!!
Will i be able to get the 2007 E63 front bumper, front hood, front headlights, and front grill fit onto my car without having any problems. Is everything just bolt on like as if it was an E55 front bumper, hood and headlights? Also will i have electrical problems, because i read somewhere that someone had bi-xenon problems.
Thank You in advance!
My car is getting fixed right now and he's ordering parts. if there are any other parts that you guys suggest please tell me!!

2006 cls500
Good luck with cook's, I've had alot of problems with there El Dorado location, they had to re-do my brother matt's 06 e350 3 times, they did a horrible job on my little brother's 06 e350, and then they ran my cls into a curb while at their shop for some dents, they repainted it a total of 3 times before i finally made them buy me a brand new bumper and pay for it to be repainted at a diff. body shop, we still have a 04 cl sitting up there being repaired, we shall see how that one comes out. Good luck

Avio Coach Craft is top in So cal. I have had all my cars done there they are MB and insurance carrier shop so they deal with the estimator not you. They use 100% new parts and take a LONG time but it is worth the wait and the coin.
