Crunched fender How much to fix it?




Any ideas , guesstimates been-there-done-that are welcome. Give it your best shot.
Probably a common fix for some I would imagine.
By the way, just what is that dented condenser in the L front fender? oil cooler or ac?
Thanks

Pretty open-ended question really. You have a damaged AC condensor and most likely the radiator behind it along with lines.

Susp and fender look okay from the picture (Can't really tell much). But it looks like the hood still lines up etc.

A good body shop would probably be $4-5k out the door I would think. As long as the alingment and susp parts were not damaged.

yeah, I heard 2-3 if I sourced all the parts myself. Anyway 4-5 is more likely.
I can't tell from the photo but I would imagine at least something on the suspension would need replacement.
Thanks

Thoughts.

Get the frame measured.

Get the suspension inspected by a professional Porsche expert. Your life rides on some part there not failing.

Assume that many parts to the bumper support structure need replacement.
Consider a third party front bumper cover if that is your preference.

And never underestimate the cost to repair a Porsche correctly. I've had 2 accidents...both cost me 4 to 6 times what I thought from experience repairing my kids Honda accident damage. A simple rear bumper cover and bumperettes scuff with absolutely no metal or lights damage cost $3k+, a $4-5k front ender with the car driveable cost $27k+ when they stopped counting.

Good luck.
