Can anyone give a guesstimate what a dent fix will cost?

Car's on finance, looking for indie quotes0

The dent is just cosmetic as are the scratches all over your wheels, please stop driving into kerbs, its easily avoidable but if you continue doing it you can damage youe tyre or wheel to the point of needing replacing. You should also be well aware when you have hit something.
Is the paint work scratched or is it dirt from the other vehicle? Its in a bit of an awkward place to get a perfect finish, it does however look like the dent hasn't caused a crease which is good. Go to a few good local body shops for a quote, ask to have a quick look at a vehicle they are working on so you can get an idea on the quality.0 -
I think that lower panel will T-Cut out, maybe, hopefully...
Anyone recommend a body shop in Shepherds Bush?
As for driving into kerbs etc, totally agree, but it's not on my watch...0 -
I should imagine the cost of labour for the panel beater + filling will be equal to a new wing. It's not a massive job to remove the old one and bolt on a new one.
A busy body shop will probably recommend replacing the wing but would advise speaking to a few body shops about your options.0 -
Don't bother with an Audi garage you will not benefit. Go to a decent back street repair place. Repair could be around £600 to £800 to do properly.0

Get your nearest, recommended SMART repairer to have a look. Although it is quite complex with two swage lines on the wing and the plastic bumper to contend with, it is in white and a good tech should comfortably be able to sort that out in less than the time an Audi bodyshop would take to quote you.0

As the car's on finance unless the repair is perfect it may be picked up when/if you hand the car back costing you more in the long run.
Either way your best bet is to go around and get some proper quotes but I doubt any decent repair will be less than £600 for that.0
