That sucks, but that metal on the front can be popped out from the inside. Just take off the fender and work it back. At least its not in the rear fender.

Actually that's kind of funny you say that. We got caught in a spot blizzard on 287 coming home and they salted the roads before we made it home. I usually keep the car clean..take it to the 24 hr sprayer each week at night to get the crap off. Was planning on going tonight My 335 is clean in there

ouch. see if you can get it fixed by PDR. you might get lucky.

i would rather not risk getting a new fender and getting it painted
as it is difficult to match metallic paints.
