    You will need to bring the car to a body shop or panel beater to have the damage assessed. Depending on the amount of damage they may be able to repair the panel rather than replace it.

    Yes and when you mention that the insurance company is paying for it the price can suddenly inflate too.

    It might even pop out with minimal effort.

    Go to a panel beater and get a price for repairing the outer skin. Also it may be cheaper to get a second hand skin for a scrap yard and get that painted and fitted

    Thanks for the great help. I'll pop it over to the vw dealer I bought the car from on Monday and I'll see how much he can do it for. Best place to start I guess

    Check if their was any cameras in the car park and if so try to see them.

    When you do go to a panel beaters dont say that insurance is paying.
