I'm looking for advice on the repair of a nearside rear wheel arch that was damaged in a stupid car park slow speed collision with a concrete barrier. I have taken the van for a quote at a local body shop who have given me a £5.5k quote to replace the rear panel complete. This would be an insurance job. The shop panel beater took a look and said although it's always better to keep the original metal, the damage was quite extensive and has rippled the panel which, in his opinion the insurance company would want replacing. I have not contacted the insurance company yet and I'm wondering if there is an alternative solution that would give a long term high quality repair that does not involve cutting away the original wing. I'm in the South East.
