Hi All

Wondering how you would go about repairing the damage in the photos. I had a small off around 18 months ago and clipped the barrier at Snetterton, so annoying. Just wondering how to fix it/how much it it likely to cost to get it sorted?

Its purely cosmetic, seems to be only the outer skin thats damaged on the rear quarter.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
James

Strip bumper, light cluster, boot interior trim etc. Get the car to a panel beater. The rear quarter and bootlid look savable. If the car needs any other panel or paint done I.e. rust repair, now is the time. eBay for replacement used rear bumper and cluster. Take rear bumper in for paint once the panel work is done so the painter can do the lot in one hit. Take it home and put it back together.

On second glance both the rear quarter and the rear panel look pretty nasty so don’t be too surprised if the panel beater suggests new parts. Panels, particularly pattern ones, are inexpensive but the time of a good panel beater usually isn’t. You might want to get multiple opinions / quotes. Costs will depend on how good a job you want, where you are in the country, whether you’re willing to do your own strip / refit etc.
