Rust

[Juliansinead]

I bumped into a car on a roundabout. The damage was to the grille and scuff marks on the bumper. 350 SLK 2007. I think I will just have the bumper polished but any ideas of how much a new grille is? Also I have rust on both wings of the car. If I respray, it will only come through again. Has anyone had this problem and what is the best thing to do and cost? Thank you.

Id source a couple of 2nd hand wings from a scrappy and get them painted at the same time as the bumper. Ive never seen that gen of SLK rust before, yours may have been repaired in the past also.

Also, looks like you need a new Numberplate plinth aswell.

Did some of the grille break as well?
you‘ll also need to check the aircon still works if you might have cracked the condenser
