Do you guys think this is considered minor?

This is from a 2004 X5. It looks minor and i think it can be fixed. For those of you who had major damage before, something like this can be restored and fixed? Any inputs is appreciated. Thanks for your time guys...

no, it does not look minor, and I can't see how they could fix that.... you would need a new hood.

Only speaking from my experiences, when the formed portions of a hood are damaged like that it is more cost effective to simply get a new hood. It will never look the same if you try to have it fixed.

Hoods are difficult to begin with, only "dents" can really be dealt with.

All IMO...I don't work at a body shop.

Definitely not minor. I don't see how in the world that could be repaired.
