cost me £190 including a huge dent in the side of the car nad all the car park dings fixed and oen whole side fo the car resprayed - just afetr I had it - make sure they do a good job tho - peoplego on about the cracks reappearing but if they put a strengthening plate behind it and make a good weld job - u wont have a problem
mine was a foreigner tho by a guy from Greenhous Vauxhall bodyshop - he made an absoloutly amazing job - especially considering the price

make sure they weld it and not just sand and use filler as the crack will come back.

Also they should drill the existing crack at both ends to round it off to get rid of the tear point

Well went to the local repair place, and was told not to worry about it for now. The passenger side is just stressed, and drivers side isnt worth worrying about. If it gets worse I got qouted 120, with respray to the side of car.
