I payed £200 for my wing when it got scuffed, when a mates mate in his 1.6 hit my car which was stationery (standing still no one in it) in a car park and drove off, put a thin 3" dent into the door and flattened about a foot of the circumference of the arch, scrapping off some of the paint with the primer being visible.

not had any fault accidents so mine usually ends up at VW... where they will happily rape your a$$ for about £800 to fix that. Shop around and get to see some finished work first i would say :wink:

Thats about 10hrs work, repair and paint 1/4 panel, blend paint onto bumper and door, so if the body shop charges £30ph thats £300 labour, £120 paint and materials, plus VAT= £504.00
