Ooops, HELP!

Messed up a bit today! Was pulling out between two walls and in doing so managed to clip one of them. Consequences below

The scratches aren't that deep, but there is a bit of a dent.

I'm going to try and get booked in at a body shop ASAP. Which one, I don't know. So what sort of questions should I be asking them/things to look out for. Any ideas what work will be required and cost?

P.S. any recommendations in the east mids area appreciated!

Dab a little T-Cut on it

But on a serious note, I feel your pain, done the same to my last car (before it was written off) an it was a killer, felt like crying lol.

is it just the flared arch thats damaged or has it scratched the quarter further down towards the door?

if theres just that damage, just the arch can be blowed in if the repairer keeps the repair local, which will keep the costs down. looking at £200 tops

Just the arch that has been damaged. £200 would be nice! Well, I say nice... lol. But it would be better than some of the amounts I have running through my head at the minute.

Absolutely gutted though, the car is in mint condition otherwise, I just really hope I can get it sorted and not be able to notice its been done.

Booked it in today, £275 + VAT. However, it is with a well known body shop who I am confident will do a good job!

Had some cheaper quotes but due to previous bad experience decided to pay a bit more for peace of mind.
