Team -
So - slid into a snow/ice wall up skiing at 2-3mph last weekend. Slow motion trainwreck style. So frustrating.
Damage: Driver's side fender, turn signal housing, cracked the bumper.
Quotes: Local body shops quoting $2100 - $3900 for full repair, which I would claim on my insurance. Which I'm not feeling super stoked on.
Alternative thought (seeking advice here):
1. buy a fender out of a yard (or car-part.com) and get it painted/installed as necessary
2. can reinstall a fresh turn signal housing myself
3. use the cracked bumper as my excuse to get an ARB front bumper
Only issue I'm running into on sourcing the part on car-part.com is that nobody wants to ship the fender. Learning thats common?
Am I on track/off track? Any advice would be appreciated!
