Looks like a nice white vert.

Thanks for sharing.

I'd suggest just finding another fender, get it painted, and touch up the bumper. That shouldn't cost you very much at all. Hope the seller gave you a good deal for screwing up that perfectly good fender.

Welcome... I would consider that some character... gives you something to fix.. if you decide to swap out that fender yourself... it's REEEAAALLL easy.. probably only maybe 10 - to 12 bolts... only really 3 or 4 well hidden ones... 1st ones (after you take out the fender innerliner) where the front bumper cover and fender come together. 2nd one - you have to open the door and look at back side of fender and you'll see one you have to take out from there3rd one - you need some extensions (almost as important as a Poundometer - Hijacker term) and reach in from inside the fender area towards the door.

I swapped out the front end to Silvia in an afternoon in the driveway. Helps to be somewhere you can open the doors all the way (read-in the garage is a PITA).Good luck.. get your hands dirty and save some cash.. hell junk yard fenders are a dime a dozen and lots of white ones out there...
