Front left wheel arch cover damage.

Hi everyone,

I have discovered a damage of front left wheel arch cover. Somehow a small piece of the part had been cut out causing it lowering as you can observe from the side of the car.

Could anyone here advice me whether I can glue it again or I have to replace the whole part.

Thank a lot!!!

I think my local dealer could have fixed that damage by heating the plastic up, maybe combined with some glue. They have fixed a couple of plastic damages for me, and it always looks like new, even if they haven't replaced the part.

Thanks ovekvam, I had checked with dealer and they said that replacing the whole part is the only choice, for such a tiny break
