2nd accident 100% my fault in every way in almost 1.3 million miles of driving - Toyota Yaris Forums

The fender is very easy to remove and it very flexible (to where you can give it a few stomps and maybe get it back into a usable shape. The door not opening is likely just the fender. If the door frame was bent, the A pillar would be misshapen a bit and the windshield would have cracked.

To remove the fender you have to remove the bumper and the fender liner on that side. It would be difficult to drive without the fender unless you also left the bumper off.

By the way, maybe that wheel is cursed, since this is its second time being involved in a wreck.
