Has anyone had to replace and paint the front right fender?
So recently, some chick cut me off and caused me to smack into her drivers quarter panel. I hit her with my front right bumper area just below the fog light. There is a decent amount of paint damage and the plastic is actually ripped by about an inch and a half near the fog light. I assume this means a whole new fender will need to be furnished along with painting and blending. If so, does anyone have any idea what this would cost? Note: insurance claim is in progress. This is strictly so I can compare what the cost should be to estimates I receive.
Thanks all. Image of my damage at the scene of the accident (paint damage is hard to see in this photo): http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/7...1032300011.jpg |
Thats the bumper not the fender.
Probably a new bumper skin, maybe otehr misc stuff and paint. $1400. A |

RealOEM.com * BMW E70 X5 4.8i Side panel, front - Part 1 (Side panel, primed, front right) is the piece that has the paint damage and crack. That matte plastic piece bottom left in my photo isn't as big of a concern to me. See the part surrounding the fog light? It goes all the way up, over the wheel well and surrounds the headlight. http://image.automobilemag.com/f/671...w_x5+front.jpg |
It is the fender, they wrap around and the bumper is mostly the black part in the center unlike most cars.

Fender itself is about $1,000. From the pic it looks like it can be repaired and repainted. Plus you need a new bumber mask as ard said.

I would have guessed $2000 with a new fender for around $800 included. If it is repairable, then slightly less than that.

Yikes. I thought the rip was a reflection at first. Repairing that is technically possible but you'll likely not find a shop that wants to do it for a reasonable price.
It looks like replacing the fender and bumper mask. Fender is around 1k with prep and paint around 500 for it. Plus the price of a new bumper mask and installation. It won't be cheap. |
