That's not part of the fender, so a new fender won't help. I would 
just try to clean around the bumper mount plate and clear out the 
drain holes. These get clogged and allow water to collect. If you 
could figure a way to fill the interior with oil so you can preserve 
what's left.

If that part is completely separated from the rest of the body then a 
patch would be your only bet.
