Front driver side fender for W124 300e 2.8
Quick question:
Does anyone know how much I should expect to pay to repair or replace a front driver side fender (black)? My neighbor accidentally scraped mine, denting it a little and cracking the paint. Here are a few images: Fender - Fender Scraper A Photo by tonewardbound | Photobucket Fender close-up - Fender Scraper B Photo by tonewardbound | Photobucket Bumper corner - Bumper A Photo by tonewardbound | Photobucket Thanks for any info you can share.

I cannot drive the vehicle to get an estimate from a shop. That's why I'm asking.

Umm
This field is variable by shop.
Unfortunately my answer will not be very helpful. $1,300.00 USD - $7,000.00 USD, depending upon replacing the bumper, matching the fender and/or repainting the whole car. .

thanks anyway
Hi whunter,
Thanks for the reply. Since it's an old vehicle and has a fairly worn exterior, it would be nice to repaint whole thing, but a matched fender would do just fine. Not too worried about the bumper. If I were to find a used fender somewhere, is this a DIY job, or does it require taking half the vehicle apart to weld the new fender in place? Thanks very much, Casey

FYI: In Detroit Metro, repainting a fender off the car is usually $100 -$200 USD. The cost becomes silly variable if the shop must remove/install.. .
