The way i see that you need a new bumper and driver side new front wing so not that bad could have been worse

It looks like you've given that quite a good bash, the headlight assy has moved over ad the front trim. The value of the repair might surprise you.

I wonder if it would be possible to get a facelift E55 AMG front bumper on if it could be possible then you should try to get that, would look alot better than the the pre facelift E55 AMG front bumper

Hello,

When you get it fixed it needs a clean also, those front wheels are bad..

Hope you get it sorted soon..

Would this fit for now (nothing to do with me)

Thanks all..Yes Im going to leave the professionals to sort it out as i suspect the repair bill may be rather large. Will question the repair garage to see whether the facelift will fit as that sounds like a good idea.

the ebay bumper doesn't look like the right one as Im sure mine had an extra bit of grill/spoiler right at the bottom.

This was done whilst reversing so im very surprised at the amount of damage done.

Yea thats the facelift one looks alot better if you ask me im shure others will agree, but have noticed the headlamp washers are different size and shape so that may obstruct or can they be changed also ?

Facelift parts don't fit pre-facelift cars.

To fit the facelift bumpers you need both front wings and the bonnet. Not worth it unless you mash the front a bit more..

Also I've gone off the facelift a bit, looks a bit 'upright' and less lean.

Even the innerwings and front panel work are different on a later car...

Not always the case for e.g. you can fit facelifted W210 light clusters to a pre facelift W210 same with mirrors as alot of people have done. Koolvin and Killerhertz had both COMPLETLY facelifted there W202's. Thats why i mentioned it

I think Nick meant the bumpers as that was what being referred to.

I was referring to the front panel work, W202s W124s etc can be facelifted with the later parts, it's just the 210 where it's more than just the outer panels...

To fit a facelift bumper, you'll need to change the bonnet, fron wings and grill.
Not cheap. I looked into it to get rid of the wing repeaters, but was too expensive.
