Someone ran into my car and cracked the front left fender above the wheel. If I don't get it fixed will the crack get any bigger or cause any bigger problems?

Tought to say without seeing it. If you don't want to replace the fender try repairing the crack or at least reinforcing it. Do so from behind.

Good luck and let us know. :)
