Just Bought E55 From Insurance Auction
Hello everyone! My name is Alex (19yr old) I'm new here on forum, so I just bought this 2005 E55 from insurance auto auction hit in the front and back, it runs and drives no frame damage. I'm looking for front grill, front bumper center grill, right headlight, hood, right fender, trunk lid, rear right lamp, rear bumper and reinforcement.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
I might have an E63 front bumper for your for $550.00 +shipping. If you want a complete front E55 bumper with fogs, mesh, everything, but in silver, we might be able to work something out for that once it is removed for my other E63 conversion.

Hope you know what you got yourself into, i was rear ended and it looked like that....12K+ to do it right, given its a 63 so theres not to many aftermarket parts available. Congrats on a sick car.

So since estimates never come under, looks like you will have @$29000 in a car that has a salvage title. IMO, you would have been better off buying a clean car for 3gs more with a clean title. Salvage cars are worth 50% of their clean title siblings. Oh and that price would be for a 2006.

Yeah that was what i was getting at, I have a 63, not a 55....Given that its a 63. I know i had to have my entire rear end rewelded at the seams, blown trunk motors etc etc. FYI before teardown i had an estimate for 6k, not thru a certified MB repair shop, estimate double when i had it done right at a MB repair shop....

FYI, to the OP.
Active curving bi-xenon, self leveling headlamps, are $1700.00 a pop. Get ready for shock and awe, when it comes to MB pricing.
This aint a Dodge Neon.
