Damn that was quick.
E63 rep front conversion from gary@suvneer the rest eBay. Headlight and fender you can get off non-amg. Just as long as headlight is xenon. Feel free to pm me if you have a question.

Sucks to hear but think about it before you go through insurance. Had a similar small hit on another car of mine. $2500 in damage. My insurance company who I will throw out there because they are a bunch of a$$holes, liberty mutual, wouldn't fix it how I wanted after they cut a check. I told the adjuster you see how clean and nice it is I don't want junk aftermarket parts, he told me no you will get oem and he wrote for all used parts. Gave me $75 to fix a custom billet wheel, that was the icing on the cake. After that they jacked my rates up like crazy, first ever claim with no tickets. I get quotes on new insurance, when the new insurance company found out about the "at fault accident" which is any claim over $1000 they doubled their quote, which was still cheaper then liberty mutual. So now I'm paying over $2000 extra a year due to them paying me out $2000. I will never go through insurance again on something that isn't very expensive

Also your car, if you plan on selling, will have accident tagged with it. If you fix it on your own it won't

+1. The 63 bumper is $450 + $500 installation and paint. No more than $1K and you get the 63 look. However, you will need a update front grill.

Good luck.

If the headlight is only damaged by means of broken mounting tabs, MB actually sells a tab repair kit that all you need to do is trim off the remainder of the broken tab and use the provided screws in the kit that fit into the screw holes already molded into the headlight to hold the new tabs in place. Solid repair and great engineering on MB's part. Also, standard w211 fenders will fit in place and there are even new aftermarket fenders that fit pretty well that can be had for around $100. If you are not too picky on the fender being original MB or not, that is.
