    Well, You Can See Bumper & Fender Damahe. The Grill is also damaged.

    So What would you do?

    Probably replace the fender and the bumper and repair whatever else behind them got damaged

    Bumper and grill may warp pretty much back into place. Wing may need replaced, otherwise careful work with a hammer than filler smoothed over it and new paint should suffice.

    That’s the poor man’s solution.

    I have no experience in repairing cars, but I would like to sort out my dent at some point:

    Hi Folks
    If the parts are readily available it would take a whole lot less experience to remove and replace then to repair. The fender has a great amount of damage that is repairable but it has to be repaired systematically. So there is a great chance that the attempted repair would only fatigue the damaged area even more and frustrate the person doing the repair. Just my 6 cents worth icon_scratch.gif

    I would not repair a fender. I can get all I want at a junk yard for less than $40. If I am willing to wait I can even get one the right color.

    Well, you could either replace or reapir, I would personally replace the bumper and repair the actual car body.
