Bought it Wednesday, wrecked it today...

Whoops. I did the same thing many years ago, just cruising along minding my own business, thought I had looked but apparently not very well and turned right into the side of someone coming the other way.

Aside from a couple of spots of missing paint I would think that most of that would actually buff out if you can pop the panel out straight again. Although it looks a little cockeyed down by the tip of the headlight.

One thing to remember when driving this car is always stay 90 degrees to roads to ensure you can see oncoming traffic on the right. If you turn ever so slightly left trying to pull out at a intersection/driveway the right side seat will block your vision and you cannot see out the little side window which is what I am assuming you are talking about and not the a piller in the front. If you are talking about the a piller then you are just a crappy driver and should only make right turns from here on out. Good thing is you are ok and like others said you can go with a aftermarket bumper or just purchase one from someone on here. there is one front bumber a week posted on here. Stay safe and just think you do not have to still worry about putting that first scratch on her.
