Hello, I want to fix this fender, somebody have a procedure how to fix the passenger front fender? but at the same time I want to fix the rear fender I hit by myself in the winter season in backup, so any idea how fix will be great!!!
thanks
ok so I think will be cheaper to welding and what kind of metal I can weld?.
if I apply Bondo with fibreglass cloth to avoid the welding, won't work?, for any job I will need to take out the fender right?
for the rear fender I tried before to that since inside but a metal or something after the fender plastic, the only way to reach is by the rear tail light and is very hard to come out that, even I tried with hot water but not work, so is not any tool for that?
PDR guy is your best bet, he will be cheaper then buying all the specialty tools . And you might not need to paint! A replacement front fender either from a parts yard ( you may luck out and find the same colour) or rattle can paint!
As for me, even a wizard cannot help a front fender.
If you look closely, it has already been repaired, and it was done by a narrow-minded person. A thick layer of putty directly on wet (or maybe dirty). Naturally, the metal rotted under this layer like in a grave. If you start picking the fender, it just crumbles - it's cheaper to buy a used one. Replacement is simple, just tighten the bolts. It will be more difficult to paint, but as far as I can tell, in the United States there is not much nagging about it.
The rear fender must be repaired and must be repaired before the metal corrodes and "gets used" to its new dented condition. But the guys are right - the place of deformation is difficult, repair is not easy. Lots of curved planes and a nasty crease right in the lower right corner. This is a job for a professional bodyworker.
The depressed deformation near the reversing light (the rim of the reversing light hole) also looks intimidating. A good craftsman will spend several hours with this place, the bad bungler will simply create a sculptural composition from putty.
I noticed that the bumper is also in the impact zone - it needs painting. The reversing light has a chip on the diffuser, but this place can be simply polished and will be invisible.
Just don't settle for replacing a piece of the rear wing. If welds appear there, they will rot due to changes in the structure of the metal at the welds.
