Default front bumper torn off..

I was backing out of a parking space, and there was a big cement collumn right next to me. I forgot about it so I started turning way to fast and the left side of my front bumper caught it, and well the collumn pulled it off. the bumper itself is still in pretty good condition and i THINK is still usable. my main problem right now is the plastic part that goes up over the tire in the wheel well waas also ripped apart from the bumper, therefore it is hanging down draped over my tires.. i need to either take the rest of that plastic piece off, or somehow reconnect it back to the frame so that i can at least drive to a body shop..

i dotn know what this plastic piece is, but it WAS connected to the bumper.. and from what i can tell is also kinda connected to the side skirt.

any suggestions as to the best, simplest way of fixing this so that i can drive the car to a body shop??

Thanks.

Ouch dude sorry to hear.

Duct tape the inner wheel well to the fender. It's gonna look ugly but it'll get you rolling

post some pics, it sounds like you should be able to fix this yourself, with some rivets it should go on nicely idk about the paint though
