I backed my Transit into my neighbour's R reg red Fiesta :oops: :rolleyes:

Ordinary sort of dent in the side of the wing, pushed in about 12cm, a bit "creased". Panel edges not out of line though.
She got 2 quotes, about £500 - £600, including £80 for paint. One wanted to replace the wing, the other didn't.
Took it to a guy I knew of, but not personally. Proper looking place, with ovens, accreditations on the wall etc. Had just finished jobs on a Jag and Merc while I was there. Not the sort to just use loads of filler.

Total cost, including vat, receipt, guarantee.... £140.
Could have opted for a new wing but they didn't recommend it, would have been extra £80.
Being really really really fussy I thought I'd be able to see some sign of a repair, but I can't.

This is Raynes Park, near Wimbledon. Happy to keep it off the record - certainly worth asking around.
