Just wanting to clean it off I used the garden hose on a single jet stream setting (not overly strong but some pressure is there) right in front of the grill to find out my radiator is probably ruined now.
After doing some research and a shit tonne of stressing.
My questions are:
- Is this anything to be worried about ? After some research, I've seen people freak out over one or two bends and obviously compared to mine, are nothing.
- Upon initial view, is this enough damage (if any) to affect performance at all and the radiators cooling ability ?
- Worst comes to worst, would it be expensive to replace ?
Any advice would be highly appreciated thank you.

Everyone's car will eventually look like that after a few years if you drive enough. You might lose a little efficiency from bent fins but doubt it will cause any issues. Just make sure you don't see any leaks from a puncture.
