Probably cheaper to replace some sheetmetal than repair it

If the dents are minor the body work will be very minimal.

If you put a different panel on there, even off the same color car it will not match and likely would have to be painted anyways.

Re: Need body work
A new fender is typically about 75 bucks labor to fix even a minor dent and touch up will be more than that.
