Replacing a Q45 front fender?

[myf16]

I'm considering replacing a dented front fender and then having the car repainted. Can someone please describe to me how to remove the fender? The service manual does not cover this. Thanks!

I think I also need to remove the front bumper cover and try to push it back into shape. I'd appreciate any clues on that as well.

Front bumper removal is covered pretty thoroughly on page BF-5 of the FSM. I couldn't find the fender removal either but from my limited experience on other cars it looks like on our Q once you remove the wheel, the mud guard and the wheel well liner all the bolts will be exposed. Good luck.

there are a couple of bolts that hold the mud guard on, then there is a bolt just inside of the turn signal housing. after that open the door and there are one or two bolts just inside the front of the door opening. Take a putty knife of box cutter to remove the bonding material (Hardened putty like) and your fender should come off. reverse the procedure and you're back in business. hope this helps. Jazz
