Few things cosmetically that I’d like to address, and need some help figuring out. First off, the bumper sags on one side, not sure how it’s held up and the rest of the internet wasn’t much help, photo attached of that, secondly, there are 3 dents from the previous owner, (photos attached) that I would like to try to remove, first one is on the roof of the car near the back window, second one is the grille dented inwards (must’ve been in a little fender bender at one point) and third is on the drivers side front quarter panel. Excuse my dirty car! a8772307a1e7c15469d0d4926f808a4b.jpg[/IMG]

Hi,
First stop would be to see a local reputable and experienced bodyshop and have them take a look over. There may be issues underneath the bumper and bodywork which need more closer attention, or not as the case may be. Overall, to resolve all these would be relatively straightforward. I'd also talk to a few places and then also price up a rub down and external colour change given plenty of panels need to be worked on here. You can then evaluate to just have each panel resolved and the paint blown in to match the old paint as best as possible in the affected area compared to fixing the issues and painting a different colour.
Cheers, Dennis!
I would suggest letting a good pointless dent remover (PDR) take a look a the car before you take it to a body shop.
This advice came from the body shop that I've used for the last 25 years. The owner told me that most times PDR can repair damage on multiple panels for the same or less than it would cost for him to repair one panel. It's far less invasive, no color matching, blending, or body work required, and faster.
Just a suggestion, but it's saved me some money over the years.
