New and undamaged... Das ist gut.... Hmmmm... Ich will das.... Das ist schlecht, ich habe kein Geld... lol.
For those non-German learners- It is good... I want it... This is bad, I have no money. (shrug)

Weld it in, grind the weld lip down smooth, sand it to a finish, paint with an anti-rust undercoat (I'd say at least 3 layers) then a coverup paint to match the current prevailing paintjob. I've never tried it, but I've seen it done. It may be an interesting process, but I'd say it'd be well worth it. Is there an angle of attack from behind perhaps?

You would have to get the heat on the Mig welder just right - a little too much and you would warp it. Also the difficulty I see is getting the surface of the repair panel in the correct alignment with the body. I guess the fact that it contains the whole fender lip would help you align it at the critical places. The pros can do it and make it look like a new car but I would not be very confident doing it myself.
