Default Fender looks like fun

Time to source a LH fender and replace it. Slight hit on the drivers side. Looks like bumper needs to be removed as well as side skirt. Anyone done one? If so lmk

Fender was slightly knicked by the end of a small tree. Honestly it’s not really noticeable and could have been a lot worse. Not sure it would even show up on pictures but I’ll take a few today or tomorrow and upload

Well at least it was not as bad as my fender damage!





I am not sure I see what's bent on your fender?

Metallic Silver that has some sun fading on it is a royal pain to match and of course it's not perfect either.





I did spend a lot of hours fixing all the chips in the front bumper cover as the car had about 120K+ miles on it.
Yes I put a different fender on it! I painted it too. Cut and buffed the clear coat.

Wow that’s One mean lookin str! Do you mean platinum paint(assuming yours is MDZ also) is hard to match? I could go the pdr route since the dent is so hard to see I’m sure they could remove it. Only thing is I have two other s types with dents to the fenders so if I can get good at removing em I can pick up fenders for $80 to 150 at the wreckers near me. Watched a few videos on em and it looks like you can drop the bumper a bit but the wheel well cover and side skirt needs to be removed. Altogether I think the fender has 8 or 9 bolts holding it in place with only three being easy to access.

Yes maybe they call that color Platinum? I find removing the front bumper is quick so I just take that off when working on the front fender.
I am also a fan of PDR and even tried my hand at it but will tell you it is a skill! Good ones are well worth the money.
