How much to fix this scratch..?

Assuming the following has gone through the paintwork, how much would I be looking at for a full on repair? I am looking at a 200sx and has this damage to the wing:

Looks like it is slighly dented as well.

Thanks

Chipsaway would probably want about £150-200ish I'd imagine. Halfords are about £175 per damaged panel for 'SMART' repairs.

That'd sort the paint problem, but probably not the dent. Had a very similar scratch fixed on my car about a week ago by Chipsaway.

You could spend up to £300 if they pull that dent properly and don't just fill it. They would also need to blend it in at some stage by ideally spraying the whole panel.

Send the pic to a local bodyshop (preferably one someone can reccomend) for a ballpark figure. They're all different.

Also if you do buy it, keep an eye on the 'for sale' and 'breakers' section on the sxoc forums. Shouldn't be too difficult to find one the same colour in good condition for £25-£50. They just bolt on and off.

Yep, my bad. bit of a tight crop and not been round many 200sx, thought it was a the rear quarter for some reason. Good call on a replacement wing but not all colours are hte same shade.

Alright thanks guys, sounds like what I expected really. Bit wary of getting a whole new wing due to colour mismatch, but worth a look I suppose!

Cheers!
