I'd book it in for a proper repair and in the meantime I'd whip the wing off and set about it myself with a hammer on the anvil, take some of the creases out. You can't make it worse and you might be surprised at how much better you could make it. Then bolt it back on and enjoy a few trips away in it.
It’s only a van good job the wife’s ok

My thoughts exactly, if she says she wont drive it again shes obviously deeply upset and she should be your priority, not the van. Cancelling trips because you're a perfectionist will make it worse, after lockdown thats mental torture for her. As a widower I would give anything for one of your cancelled trips with my wife. Whats done is done, take the piss and have a laugh about it, forget your anxieties until you both accept that shit happens all the time, and its not worth falling out over
Cheers

Or next girl…!
*plays the woke, inclusive twaddle card!
My sister passed away in a car accident when I was 16 so may out look on a piece of metal is 0. I do appreciate and love my t6 and Cassie but my wife and two little girls are my life.. my wife once popped a tyre on her car and literally went down in 5 seconds she then got out her car burst into tears because she thought I’d go mad. The only thing that made me mad was the silly sausage started to cry over something easily repaid. This maybe a little deep but life’s to short to worry
I’d keep looking on ebay / ring around the Transporter breakers (Kernow T5Cotswold etc) and see if you can get a silver wing. I could only find a blue one on ebay.
As others have said its unfortunate but enjoy the summer and your booked holidays - van can be fixed anytime. Holidays, if you haven’t booked already, will be challenging to secure one, so make the most of it.

Makes my wife's effort this weekend of snapping 2 curtain clips a tad poor.....
She’s got previous for gate posts. It’s for the best.
Ally never drives ours either.
Yeah. I forgot about the one on the Renault many years ago too!
Don't be so soft
