Sadly I have damaged the front side panel (passenger side). As I was turning out of a carpark I did not notice a very low wall which hit the side panel in the middle (between the door and wheel) and dented and scratched it. When the side panel went in it also pushed the screenwash fluid container and broke it and all the fluid has come out. Went to a local MB specialist and they kindly advised me that the cost of the side panel is £320ish, screenwash container £40 and it would take 2.5 hours to replace it=£240 plus the side panel would need to be sprayed as it only comes primed from factory. So we are looking at around £800+ to get this fixed.I did ask if the side panel can be hammered back to shape instead but they werent able to advise because they are not a bodyshop.
Any advice on what is my best option please?
