Broken fan shroud?

Wassup guys! I was on the 405 S a few weeks ago and some old man ran over a big metal radiator support on the road. It smashed my whole front end and smashed a bit of my radiator. It chipped a bit of my fan shroud, which caused it to get jammed into the fan and my car overheating. I was wondering what are the alternatives for my fan shroud? I would just take it off but I don't want to leave my fan exposed. (The fan that's connected to the engine)

You need a shroud. Without it, air won't flow through the radiator. The fan will just blow air around the engine bay instead by pulling it in from the sides behind the radiator.

Ahh, I totally forgot about that, I guess I'm going to have to plastic weld the fan shroud. Are there any aftermarket alternatives?
