Rear Quarter



  BMW 535d
this morning the car stepped out at about 20mph (no idea why) and knocked into a steel barrier :( The alloy took most of the force but the rear quarter has some deep creases in it and the rear window shattered. I was wondering if you know if the rear quarter could be repaired/replaced. No-one else was involved just me. Just don't fancy going through insurance. PLEASE HELP GUYS

As above, take to a bodyshop. To have the rear quarter replaced isn't a cheap job by the time it's removed, a new one welded in, and then all the prep and paint work.

lost it on diesel spill?

get it repaired at a GOOD bodyshop, not one that just fills the crap out of it with bondo filler.

rear glass, get one from the scrappy if your lucky, carefull not to break it as you take them out

That's unlucky, as already said get some photos up. best case scenario it's a pull out job, worst case its a near rear quarter. I wouldn't bother with insurance though, certain companies expect you to report it within a set amount of time (see your insurance T&C), anything after they'll refuse to pay out. And even if they don't pay out, the assholes will still keep it on file to try an get more money out of you.
