All that sheetmetal damage just from a hydroplane?

Oh hey, a Fiat Tipo! I had a toy of that with a racing livery on it.

Bad luck dude. Aquaplaning isn't something you can really do anything about. I hope it's not serious!

Right in the road, straight ahead, a car was stalled, the engine was dead, I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right, I'll never forget the sound that night...

Like I said, a second of distraction, a motherfucking bikini bottom in the middle of the street and a stalled car with the lights off, I still managed to hit it sideways, only the edge of the bumper made contact, but Italian cars arebuilt with crumple zones, while Brazilian cars aren't... I think I punted the VW Fox in front of me at least 5 meters ahead, but it came out without as much as a scratch, while I didn't feel much of an impact, but the sheet metal took the hit instead.

Thanks Man, I think it's possible to fix the fender back without replacing it, and maybe the bumper and hood too... I believe the car is still straigtht and solid, as I drove it home and it didn't even pull to the right or left, but I'm kinda worried about the radiator and maybe engine whiplash...

Hey, man... that's really unfortunate. But doesn't look like anything very serious. The hood is bent, but closing, fender is busted but everything else looks right.

Give it a day to dry completely and check for any leaks under it. Also check the coolant level. If it's OK, start it and let it run for a few minutes. Check for leaks, any different sounds from the engine bay and excess of smoke from the exhaust.

The front section of the Tipo is quite big, so I think you're safe from any serious problems. Just visual damage.
