[AAAAAAAAAA]

Several years ago a runaway shopping cart hit my car, in probably one of the worst spots, right on rear wheel arch crease

Pics attached -- some definitely make it look worse than in real life. But it's been bothering me ever since it happened

Any ways to fix it, or at least make it look less noticeable, without replacing the fender? It's an E92 so it's a huge piece.. I'd think replacing the whole thing would probably end up looking worse than the dent due to fitment & paint matching issues

If I were to remove the fender liner (not sure how involved that is), is there any way to safely try to pop it out a bit? I already have Dr Colorchip kit which would help with the gouge.

I'm open to having a pro handle it, but at least want to get an idea of options before going through effort of bringing it to a shop and getting a quote

I'd have a PDR guy look at it but I think a body shop will need to do the repair. Dr. Chip is great for filling in small defects and that is not a small defect.

TCPHOTO has good advice. Had dent in similar spot. Had good luck with pdr fix. Not perfect but much better. Same with Dr. Colochip. Not perfect but best available touch up repair kit. Good luck!!
