Default Need help fixing wheel well.

Alright.. so... my front bumper did not have a good winter. I tried parking on an ice mound ( I know.. I know :doh: but other cars were doing it) And changed my mind, so.. as I was backing off of it, it (unbeknownst to me) ripped my lip off, and cracked the bumper. I didn't realise how bad the damage was, (figured I just scraped the underside) kept driving around campus, hit a pothole, and the lip, which, I'm assuming was hanging off, got logged under my front axel. :doh: Somehow, this made the front part ot the right wheel wells, rip off. So.. I get home... trashed the bumper, and put on the Tsunami front end that I was planning on selling. Well.. I'm driving to work, and keep hearing this weird noise. Pull over, notice that the LEFT wheel well had been rubbing against the tire, and the plastic was now melted away. :doh: Well. Next week I'm picking up new stock bumpers. :woowoo: And I want to fix these nasty holes so you can't see the inside of my bumper. I was thinking gutter guard, bondo and black bumper spraypaint. But... we all no how wonderful bondo is... so.. if anyone has any better suggestion, please share here.

Ooo.. that sounds better actually.. I want to avoid bondo at all costs. But, Unfortunatly, the whole left corner (That tucks under the bumper) is gone. That's why I was thinking the gutter guard... Maybe I'll wander around Home Depot this weekend...

It's not really flapping.. it's just... not astheticly pleasing. And with going back to a cleaner look.. I wanna make her look purdy. :hugglez:
