Dont mind doing it in two stages I.e pull the dent out then paint/blend later but what sort of costs am I looking at?

No I wouldn't go through insurance this is a car that im interested in buying. Otherwise its spot on.

Its hard to tell from those pictures and the shadows, but, with a big degree of 'ifs and but's, it looks like there isn't damage to the rear bumper? And it looks like it's quite a soft dent with no damage to the paint on the rear quarter?

That could probably be glue pulled, or pushed from inside the boot area if there is access without it needing paint?

If it needs paint, you could accept a blend repair up to the swage line that runs through the fuel cap?

A full 'insurance approved' repair would be a repair over the complete rear quarter, I cant see from the image if that means paint going up and over the doors and down the A pillar, it usually does?

I'd be in a ball park of £350-£500.
