Someone dented my wife's XType in the parking lot and I want to replace the front fender. I think I've already found a replacement for it, but I'm not sure how to get the dented front fender (passenger side) off.

I'm fairly certain I'll have to take the wheel well cover off and I know there are 4 or 5 bolts that are holding the fender on at the top just under the hood. Is that all that needs to be done to get the fender off? I searched all over and cannot find anything about removing a front fender from the XType.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

 

Maybe I'm gonna make a fool of myself here, but do you mean the front bumper? o.O

If so, there are bolts underneath the car that are right where the bumper is at, I forget what size they are, but I believe that the majority of them are Torx screws. They are easy to get off of the car if none of them are stripped, one of mine is stripped and I had to take it to my uncles shop to have him get it off and replace it. But it's rather easy to pop off, right whenever you get them all off it just kinda slides off. Hope I helped :3

 

Thanks, but I'm actually talking about the front passenger side fender. The body part that surrounds the front wheel. I've checked to see how to get the bumper off, in case it needs to come off to get the front fender off, but I can't find anything instructing how to get the fender off.

 

Hmm I'm not entirely sure on how you would go about doing that, my best guess would be just to straight up take it to a body shop and they should be able to pop the dents out, that always works

 

The dent is on the crease line, so it can't be popped out. I have to replace the fender, but not sure how to get it off. Anyone know?

 

My wife did this to my X-type on Saturday morning...I'm now also needing to know the best way to remove the front passenger fender. I'd like to replace it myself to save some money. Thanks!
