yes, bumper is probably salvagable, just need to pull out the fender and buy a new tail light.

i wouldnt do it with body filler, it can crack in the sun. Best (read: most costly) way is to have the rear fender cut out, and a new one welded in, then sanded, primered, and a full repaint. If the dents cant be pulled out of course. A new tail light, molding, and bumper of course. Good time for painted molding, and S5 lights

You could bump/pull the quarter but you would be better off replacing the metal. Also the degree of the damage is not repairable with filler alone, you would have to get it some what closer to level before finishing with the filler.

I can't see it. It's too big. (I've never complained about that before) Use an image editor program to resize it down to 1024x768 or something.

Not that I have a ton of experience with body repairs, but I would tend to agree that it could be done.
