New rear bumper
New rear panel (bit behind the bumper)
New rear quarter panel
Car put in a jig and straightened
Possibly a new tailgate, depending on damage.

Scott off here reckoned about £400 (without the tailgate at that time)

The tailgate might be OK, but I won't know until the bodyshop can get it open.

Had a "wee bump" on saturday you see.

The bodyshops going to get the parts I think. They have got a bumper and clusters lying around. They might be able tto get a tailgate from a guy they did a smooth boot for. He still has the "unsmooth" one kicking about.

OK got a phone call from the bodyshop today.

Parts came to £350
Labour came to £600
VAT and something else brought the cost up to £1360.

Erm, no. Ain't payin that.

Took it to a local bodyshop, the guy has done work for me before, first class quality, and he wants between £450 and £500, for the same job.

Just shows - pays to shop around!!
