It was done with ceramic coat only 2weeks before damage was done, so I’d want it redoing.

Blimey £6k. :shocked:

Are they rebuilding the entire rear end or something? I would have thought about half of that would have been about right. :undecided:

Must be.

The bill for mine was just over £2.5k. No new rear quarter, but they did replace the rear passenger door as the damage was across 2 panels. Thankfully I wasn't paying  :whistle:

Yup, they’re saying it can’t be repaired and has to be cut out and replaced.
Replacing it means stripping out interior etc

Hopefully the numpty's insurance is paying rather than yours.

Shame they have to replace the panel, but fingers crossed they do a fantastic job and you'll struggle to tell there was ever any damage  :smiley:

Yeah they will take anything that could be damaged out while cutting the panel out and welding a new one in  :smiley:
