It looks bad, but definitely not unsalvageable. What I would do is to get a professional panel beater to do the metal work and then do prep and repainting myself. You need new trim of course.

Right, strip the bumper, grille, apron and bonnet. Doesn't look so bad now does it. . .
All this stuff is available Taiwanese style.

Even radiator support if needed. The only hardish part will be finding a grille.

You'll just have to teach it to stay away from fences. . . It is just a flesh wound. . .

Hell, leave the bonnet and apron black, move the mirrors to the guards; call it JDM and the chicks'll love it.

(will get you mobile cheaply too)

 Re: the damage :
Ouch, sorry to see your sedan like this, are you getting a new radiator support? The plastic grill mounts differently and will need the mounting tabs off a coupe support or those aftermarket supports will work with the coupe grill. Best of luck getting it all fixed.

 Re: the damage :
The aftermarket RSP's are for late ute's which use the coupe grille anyway, so they are essentially coupe RSP's
The spot welded lugs that mount the grille are different, but the panel itself is the same as far as I can tell.

 Re: the damage :
oh dude, that car was neat... I would be sad too, I had a little tear a few hours after I put my first ute on its side, and it wasn't even my fault that it ended up that way. I drive my new ute like a Grandpa and it only ever goes fast when I know there is absolutely no risk of d!ckheads pulling out in front of me. But I guess the fence didn't jump out in front of you...

Why did you drive your car into a fence?
