its a pull job and a skim over, the killer is going to be when trying to blend the paint

How bad is the door shut creased? Basically the side of the lower B pillar where the door catch ect is? It looks like it delves in at that point

If the job is done by a pro. it will be a peace of cake for him,because his car is not a metalic color,but if it was a metalic color it will be pain in a**..lol.
It can be fixed easily,you should see mine,it's worse than yours many times,I need a new right front wing+new bumper+new headlight+nice grill :(,I will post mine tomorrow

It looks like a new rear quarter is needed as that crease will not be able to be pulled out.
If you go through your insurance they may write it off.

£300 is too cheap. rear quarter can be pulled out and the crease filled. the one that needs checking is the structural integrity of the lower b pillar. if thats buckled in the slightest it will be a write off i'm afraid.

well, you can always ask how are they going to fix it before they do the work.
at the end of the day it is just car panel, i wouldn't too bother
