You are missing the tow hook cover on the passenger side. Check eBay for a used one. Many of the third party ones don't fit wall or at all. New ones from the dealer are in the $500 range as that is the AMG bumper.

Good luck,

That crack is definitely repairable. Plastic weld is going to be the best option.

Update: Bodywork restoration is well underway. As I mentioned earlier the car had damage on both rear quarter panels, along with numerous small dents on the top left by the antenna. Front and rear bumpers are off the car and being repaired as well. Next up the scrapes on the passenger door and...

Thx but I’m on the East coast so the combined item shipping price is going to be prohibitive.
