got my car off the parents and need this to get fixed so just wondering someone could give me a price
It looks like someone came after you with a jimmy bar mate,only if the damage was on the bumper instead.Could cost a few $$
Not good m8, back part might be bogged n resprayed but as far as the rear side panel id say a new one and sprayed + labour be up there $$ wise..looks pretty worse for wear : (
how did that happen?
Also check my ride,sitting on HSV R8 19's
" And on the Seventh day ,GOD created Commodores!!!! "
was with mum in a carpark but she reversed quickly and hit the corner of a pole which pushed that part back a inch or so
prob be best doing through insurance and paying the excess be cheaper..get some quotes first from atleast 3 different spray/panel shops : )

yer will do that thanks
I'd smooth that bit off then use fibreglass to re-replicate the shape, an sand & paint it... Only you would know, An you could do it yourself for under $100,

thanks everyone for the comments going to ring up some places and have a talk about it
Paint matching will be the problem, not the fix... but would say closer to ~2K
+1 that - depends on condition of paint. however, I have had a white pearl matched ok from an outlet that was in all other aspects sub-par. Ring the local car dealers and ask who they use. A good place will blend it all in.
i'm with Hozy on this one, its an older car, you can pick up a fairly good VS for 2-3k why spend 1k or more repairing one minor imperfection when you could do a simpler repair mostly yourself and almost no one will ever know.
