Looks nasty but easily repaired.

With cost of wings so cheap, prob just be easy to replace that rather than repair. Door however will be repaired.

Both wing + door sprayed, door re aligned. Colour match shouldnt be too much of an issue coz its a pretty recent metallic car.

well, the guys say that new door shell needs to be bought £150, and new wing and wheel spat, cos it will be easier to get a new door, as it cannot be bent back to make it look like perfect, so £680..other places charge nearly 1k, toehr places charge about £400, but they seem all dodgey anyway i cant believe it

£700 for that damage makes no sense.

Whoever is tellin u all that is talkin shite me thinks, any decent panel beater or bodyshop would sort the door out no problem, and just get a new wing.


And as far as spraying goes it shouldnt cost ya no more than £100

you could get away with a door skin there so £40

P.S you could get that all done for less than £300

Also the RRP for a wheel arch (wheelspat as you call it) is £8.50

You are being ripped off

some1's taking the piss out of you, with a bi of light work most of that dent can be knocked out then its just a case of using a bit fibreglass and filler to smooth it over and restore the shape then its just the cost of a little bit of spraying, as for the arch just get a replacement there cheap enough
