Is my car a write off.

[sammpeters]

Hi does anybody have an idea if this is fixable and if so a rough idea how much?
Thanks in advance

That's £2k+ as an insurance repair based on appearances.

Certainly fixable. If it goes through as an insurance job it'll be a replacement rear quarter I suspect.

What hit it??

and i bet you could push most of that out if you can get to it from the inside.

It'll be possible to affect some kind of repair on the panel but it'll be double skinned there so the proper job is to replace the panel.

PFL MK2 ST?

I would suspect a write off, as the wheel maybe also damaged ? Also by the time you factor in hire cars etc and it being at least 11 years old , its a lot of work labourwise to get done.

I'm fairly sure there is little or no access behind that panel meaning it will have to be pulled.....and not with a suction cup off ebay lol

You do it from outside with those tack on keys and a pull bar.

There's a few methods, there's various tools out there but suffice to say it's a job for a skilled operator.
The days off pushing dents out from the rear are long gone generally,with the way cars are designed these days

I can imagine.

I hate bodywork. Takes lots of skill and patience (I can't plaster either ) and always been in awe on how you can make something look good. My dad can do a reasonable job, I just want to rush it.
