Depends how much the car is - age mileage ect.

Your looking at a few hundred pounds to put that right TBH unless you know of someone in the trade.

personally i wouldn't as at least that side of the car will need painting, the front bumper and bonnet will need blending in also. This is assuming you don't need a rear arch as that looks pretty bent imo

And it looks like the sill has been hit too

So if you got it for 1400 how much will you have to repair it after paying insurance?
