Default Fender help

I live in New York and have my car parked in the street, Long story short someone hit my fender and dented it inwards.

Any tips on what I should do?

Go to a shop or get a new fender off ebay?

Will post pictures soon for a better look

take of the wheel and inner fender lining. depending on what it looks like back there you might be able to beat the dent out and use body filler to even it out, sand it down and repaint. option two: remove the fender and do the same thing with the detached fender. option three: widebody

Hey updated, I removed the plastidip, the paint under is Garnet Peal ( the nice red color) and the paint is flawless except for the fender area where i got hit.

I have a new fender, anyone know the price to paint it to the same color to match. Not plastidipping again.
