Wife's scraped the car...what's the damage?

[MarkCup]

What's a ball park figure to put this right? Trying to decide if worth claiming on insurance.

Only seems to be cosmetic to the outer 'skin' as far as I can tell. Is it an easy fix?

New door + new wing + respray. Or live with it.

Door and rear quarter panel.... not very cheap I wouldnt of thought... I was getting quotes of £150 to just paint the front wing on my 182...

Ouch. Any tips to stop her from doing it again? Apart from not letting her drive at all, ever?

What did she get into a fight with?

Im not sure of the limitations of a dent removal specialist but that would seem a too bigger job for them to do it in my eyes, especially the quarter panel. The passenger door possibly could be beaten out and resprayed (around £200) If the rear quarter panel is replaced, then that section runs up over your doors as its the frame of your car so your looking at £1000+ easy. Get it assesed by a few bodyshops including a dealership and go from there mate. Lew

id live with that tbh,

Not really worth claiming on insurance

What the f**k did she scrape?

I'm no pro, but having the rear quarter scratched often means BIG repair bills. I'd live with that 100%
