Gutted!!

[Matt-T68]

1st mistake in 26 years
Absolutely gutted. Currently being repaired but felt like shite when it happened. Bloody high kerb in a car park. Just didn't spot it!! On the plus side having the stone spattered bonnet sorted too.

Did it miss the doors at least? if so it could have been a lot worse!

So it's back. Chip free bonnet and a straight sill. Perfect colour match. Very happy with the results and a 2 day turnaround. Facelifts bodyshop in Burton On Trent if anybody needs anything doing.

I used a sharpie to fill in the blanks before returning company cars. No idea if it made any difference but I quite enjoyed doing it

Hi Matt,

I have similar damage. Out of interest how much did it cost to repair? Thanks

Hi Brodie

I paid £600 if I remember rightly. Was a pig though as it is a difficult area to pull out but they did a cracking job of it. Don't know where you are in the country but they do lots of Transporter work.

Hi @Matt-T68 I’m fairly local to Burton on Trent so I reached out and they’ve quoted me £540. Seems really reasonable considering how good your fix looks! Thanks for the recc.

I did the same with one of those big black low bollards. £1600 to repair. Guy was an artist and made an amazing job.
