If you're asking, you can't do it. Not well, anyway.

$500 is the absolute minimum you can expect if someone has to bend even a small bit of metal, sand, and paint.

You could also just buy a new fender, have it painted and then swap the fender yourself. Bumper looks like it will straighten out with a new fender anyway. Of course the cost will likely be similar.

What's weird is it looks like your car is wearing completely different tyres in the two pics... I'm guessing they were taken at different times?

somebody should be able to pop that fender out and paint it for 350. leave the bumper, it will come out with the fender. just ask the shop for the rest of the paint and touch up the bumper yourself.
