Can this be fixed without replacing the whole bumper????

Hi,

I don't know what happened, but I was not around. it seems that somebody (or someone) hit my fender and a little piece of the LSE front bumper, drivers side. It look like i definitely have to replace the side fender (which i can get for less than $200, but I don't know about the bumper. Do you think the damage is small enough to fixed it without getting a whole new bumper?? I''m hating it because it really looks bad.

Let me know if I need better pics.

thanks!

Did a unicorn hit you? One of the questions you'd have to ask yourself is the quality of the fix. It looks like possibly it could be fixed with bondo but I'm not sure how high the structural integrity would be afterwards. Best bet is to get a quote and opinion from a local trusted bodyshop.

to do it right you have to replace the bumper and the fender. I think if someone did fix it it won't last.

The only way to fix the bumper is if you have the piece that is missing, (possibly laying inside the bumper cover or fell on the ground and you picked it up). If you have that piece, a body shop would remove your inner fender liner for access and repair from the back side with a piece of reinforcing urethane and epoxy. If the piece is missing...buy a new bumper...period.
