Hard to tell from one photo - but personally, I would have try that repaired for two reasons:
I had a little more damage and they replaced the clam... took forever even once they had the replacement clam. These are not like steel body panels for a mass production car - there is a certain amount of fettling required to get them to fit (and in the case of mine to get the headlight to fit - the headlight bucket hadn't been bonded on in the correct location so had to be removed and refitted).
- Likely to be more cost effective
- Likely to be much faster
