Accident repair cost ?

[PJH]

Any ideas how much this will cost to repair ?
Boot still opens OK (manual & electronic) but it is fitting slightly higher on the driver's side.
Damage:- rear cluster lens, boot lid, scuff on bumper and above the R.

Patrick, The cost will depend on who bent it in the first place. Are we to assume that you reversed into something or did someone run into you? If you reversed into something then I would suggest that you get another boot lid from a breaker, should cost about £50 - 100. Spraying it depending on where you live and who you know could be from £100 - 300. Rear light cluster about £25. Labour? who knows. If someone ran into you then Insurance claim there you go. Not supprised you are feeling fed up after all the grief you have had with it.

They are quite hard to see aren't they ?

I mean you think they'd paint them yellow or something ?
