Your front grill and headlight surrounds look to be in good condition (same as on my '71 142 E). That soft aluminum usually takes a beating. I spent a lot of time beating dents out, filing and polishing mine to get it looking reasonable.

Above the side trim is original apart from the wings. The paint needs a bit of tlc so a job for winter. It’s far from perfect the paint and there’s a few wee dents etc but nothing to stress about at the moment. I have a very good used front bumper and grill to fit and new side trim and mirrors. Jobs for winter when she is back in the workshop.
