How easy is this to repair - car park scrape?

[james_tigerwoods]

A certain individual was driving my car at the weekend and, in a multi storey car park, did this:





I won't name names, but I am suitably unimpressed.

I'm taking it to a body shop later, but before I go and am told all sorts of nonsense, can someone tell me how this would be repaired?

Thanks

Can you take a closer shot of it, from that angle, especially on a White car it's hard to judge the depth etc.

I paid about £400 for something similar to my mk4 golf, cash in hand but at a proper bodyshop.

About £600 for an OEM quality repair, plus a wheel refurb by the look of things...
Oh and WRT repair methods- probably a spot weld pin pulling kit, then a skim with the filler and a spray and blend into adjacent panels.

Must. Not. Be. Angry...

Must refrain from letting the Missus drive your car!

New wing, new door, new wheel, replace all the suspension, hire car for 2 months, 5 people with whiplash, mental stress for 28 people who have seen pictures of the dents, etc and so on

Probably a write off

If insurance gets involved

[Somnophore]

Yeah it looks worse close up, lucky it's a flat colour and not metallic, I'd say around £450. shop around

Someone should call an......

Couldn't be in a worse place TBH.

£600

The alloy will probably need a full face refurb so add about £70 to the cost of the other repairs.

But the other half will be paying for the damage she caused, so it's not an issue - right?

[hornetrider]

Take the opportunity to bin those hideous alloys for something decent.

My Wife scraped her car recently and looked similar to yours.
She used the company below who came out and repaired on site.
I work away and was expecting to be 'not impressed' when I got home but I was totally impressed by the invisible repair. It cost about 100 quid.

Good luck

She did offer to pay, but I'm the one that'll pay anyway....

I remain unamused - now if I'd done that to her car... Or reversed in to hers, like she did to mine last year... (my fault for parking it there apparently)...
