    For new parts? A lot of money.

    1/ Wing could be anything from £50 - £200

    2/ Can door be repaired? Labour costs could make a replacement door viable.

    3/ £30-£100 per tyre.

    You haven't given a lot of info but if it was me I would be pricing up second hand parts on EBay (this is an area where I think EBay is fantastic)

    To be realistic you should be expecting a bill around £1,000 but it could be done a fair bit cheaper especially if you have a tame bodyshop.

    Genuine or pattern parts?
    Dealer fix or 3rd party garage/bodyshop?

    If its metallic, it may need the entire side spraying to get a good match.

    insurance jobbie or a private job as prices will vary between the two..

    try a breakers yard you may be suprised. talking around
    1. wing £50-200
    2. door sounds repairable so around £150
    3. tyres dependant on what you want and the size again 30- 120

    with the spraying of the wing and door then i would get the rear quater painted too to ensure a good match..

    Agree with above except a new pattern wing will be cheaper. A full side respray will be £300 upwards. Do not skimp on doing this and trying to get away with the two damaged panels as they'll stick out like a sore thumb. The paint is where you want to be spending the money. The parts, as long as they do the job, don't matter so much.

    its a 2008 model so possibly in warranty still so may need to use genuine toyota parts to maintain the bodywork warranty
