Yeah, I'd say 1200.

Is that replacing the front fascia?
I'd say around a grand. I had to have my driver side quarter panel fixed as well as the tail light after a neighbor backed into my Audi with a trailer. it was only 700. And I'm sure your 300C can't be as bad as my Audi is insurance and part wise.
Insurance will get the repair work for less for 2 reasons:
1) Ins gets cheaper rates at body shops (cheaper than walk-in customers at same shops)
2) Dealerships over write their estimates
Dealership wrote to replace the bumper I am assuming...doesn't need to be replaced. Only the chrome strip. Its a 2 maybe 3 hour fix + paint. The fender is again, a 2 hour fix plus paint. Some shops can blend that metallic paint, others refuse. Either way, thats why you have ins!
I had a the plastic "scoop" on the side ripped off and the only metal contact just nicked the paint, exposing the under layers (no dent) and the replacement scoop cost was 40 dollars, but there was a charge of 850 dollars for painting the entire side to match the metallic paint and labor. The lady that "hit" me did not want to go through insurance, and wanted to make payments when she found out how much. Of course, I threatened to go to her insurance, whereby she somehow found a resource to pre pay the cost of repair...
i hope you werent drinking and driving :nonono:
