wheel well bent

today i noticed that my front right wheel well was bent like crazy..
i dont know when it happened..
what im guessing is tho, i hit the big water puddle at like 50mph..
it could be..huh?

anyway nothing went bad besides the wheel well..
so i wonder if i should take it to dealer or fix it myself..
any suggestion?

Are you referring to the fenders? If you are, I'm sure you can DIY.
last week, my bumper hit and a pickup and my fender was bent (not crushed). I took out the bumper, and some plastic covers and managed to massage the fender back to shape. its quite an easy task, no need special tools, other than screw drivers for removing the bumper.
It is a easy 2 hour task for my case. but the workshops wanted to charge me like SGD600(!!) for it!!

the fender is quite soft, actually.
