Front Fenders/Bumper
I had an accident (see picture below) and will have to replace the front left fender, the bumper if a little fiberglass doesnt do the job, and most likely straighten up the tiny piece of frame (underneath the hood) that got torned.
My question is, are FRONT fenders different on 4-doors and 2-doors model? A lot of friends tol me yes but I dont really believe them as for what my eyes see.
Can anyone shed some light?
Cheers

If the bumper is just cracked and not wrinkled, drill the end of the crack and plastic weld the bumper. (Since you won't be adding filler, you can use a soldering iron to melt and blend the plastic across the crack. Just make sure that you penetrate the whole way through. You will need to remove the bumper cover to do this properly.) You can finish with some polyester body filler as Bondo is not flexible enough.

Thanks a lot for the input everyone! Also, as you can see in the pic here my light was pushed back and i wonder if as far as you guys can see if there is a lot of frame damage possible behind that?
BTW you cant see that on pic but I know the tiny slip of frame on the top edge where the hood closes on top of the fender is "twisted" upwards a little which causes my hood not to completely close on that side, even thoughit clips fine. But a mecanic I know told me its gonna be a piece of cake..we just need to untwist and weld where a little crack will have formed from the "untwisting"
Anyways if anyone can estimate frame damages behind the light if thought to be any id appreciate the input again.
