2015 white Scion FR-S panel and bumper replacing

A few months ago I was involved in a bit of a fender-bender while merging in a roundabout. I do have insurance but am unable to claim it since it will raise my rates insanely (I got in another accident earlier last year). Paying out of pocket at body shop will be ridiculously expensive, so I'm wondering if it's at all possible to repair this myself with the help of some other people and a tutorial of some sort.

you will need to replace the parts. Find a used fender and front bumper. If you can find the same color cool, otherwise they will have to be painted.

Where would I find reliable painted parts? And where do I find a good tutorial of some sort to follow?
