Just got myself a passat last weekend and hadn't even had it a week when I backed it into a wooden gate post. After I cleaned it all up, I thought it wasn't too bad, and I initially thought I hadn't damaged any paint on it at all, just dented it in somewhat.

Unfortunately, it's right at the edge of a panel, and when I looked closer (as per the second photo here) right under the edge the paint has split and cracked, so the metal is exposed in the worst possible place, I imagine.

Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I could go to get this all fixed up like new for a reasonable cost, and without involving fillers and panel respray?
