Well, had a bit of a bump tonight , pulled out and went into the side of a 5 door P reg e36 bmw. Now i need the advice of the lovely corsa sport people ...



How much should i expect to pay for a door, skirt and rear panel? i have found the same car being broke in the same colour, lucky!

Does the rear quarter panel swap straight over or does it have to be cut and welded?

Could the existing quarter panel in the pic be repaired and sprayed?

Any help or advice appreciated

Will your insurance not cover it?

Rear panel will need cut and welded but it looks repairable, just needs a bit welded in.

Skirt just needs painted but if you've found one in the same colour will probably be cheaper.

Just claim of your insurance though, it'll get written off and they'll pay the owner out.

wouldnt it be cheaper in the long run to pay for it though?

I can get a door and sideskirt in the same colour for about £60. Its just how much that rear quarter is going to cost to repair, wheres tom when you need him?
