Default 97 Festiva - Replacing Front LH Fender/Panel - What is involved?

G'day... I'm hoping someone can give me a heads up on what to expect when replacing a front fender on a 1997 Festiva.

My daughters car met with a roo the other week and fortunately the damage was limited to the front LH fender and the LH indicator. Amazingly the bumper appears untouched along with the bonnet and left door.

I've sourced a straight panel in the same colour from a wreckers along with a new indicator.

Looking at the replacement panel it appears there's mount points at the front near where it meets the bumper. If you're reading this and have any experience in this area - does the bumber need to come off in order to remove and install the front fender?

The rest of the mount points appear straight forward to get to. I just don't want to start this job in a tight timeslot to find out halfway through that the bumper needs to come off and turns into a much larger job! If it is a larger job then it will have to wait till a spare afternoon comes along one weekend!

Cheers
Carl
