    The man has been to see the car. I admit I made a mess of trying to "do it myself". Dent over wheel arch and 2 panels to be resprayed etc. £312. He has done work for a friend so I am hopeful it will look fine when done. I will post once it is done so anyone else searching can see what happens.

    For that sort of money you may want to speak to a local bodyshop too. It cost me £280 for complete bonnet and wing respray so you may find it cheaper
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Yes but he is also dealing with the dent over the wheel arch, anyway I have said to go ahead now and he is doing it next Thursday. Will let you all know the result.
