    Does this damage look easier to fix or just get new parts?

    Ice caused me to slide into a truck back in January and she sat in the garage like this till now. I was lucky not to crush the headlights but the bumper and fender are mangled. I saw the post on the black e30 with similar damage but I'm split between the options to repair it my self or get a new fender and bumper and have it sprayed. The plastic weld stuff should work just fine with some sanding on the bumper to fix that up and the fender looks a little difficult to pound back out though. A little advice would be nice, maybe some of you have some Bronzit that you could donate? Ive looked for fenders and have had bad luck considering that I've either been stood up or it was the wrong fender.

      if you care about having matching vin #s on all your panels, I think that's potentially fixable by a professional body guy.

      otherwise, used E30 fenders tend to be pretty cheap.

              all of that can be easily fixed, especially the bumper. The fender might be kind of a bitch, but it can get done.
