Check out breakers for a skirt (€30/40) and get it sprayed (~€100)

thanks I didnt think these can be taken off, look attached to the car permanently maybe im wrong?

Very easy removal on most cars!

That doesn't look like a skirt - it's a standard sill. Will need some straightening, filling and painting.

If it was a skirt it would most likely have cracked and broken.

Was thinking the same, dosent seem to come off anywhere, its part of the chasis it looks like. wonder if I could get some cheap racerboy side skirts maybe to hide it, might be cheaper.

Have a go at fixing it yourself. Drill a few self tapping screws into the dent, pull the dent out , skim of filler, a few rattle cans ,its in an area where a poor finish wont show up too much

I did something similar to my Mondeo a few months back, nothing like yours though. Got trapped in the car park with the school buses so I decided to go forward which involved going up on a kerb to the other car park which was on another level (about 3 inches higher)- said kerb was a bit too high and just before the back wheels got a chance to get up onto the kerb, it caught the sill on both sides. Really píssed me off, but it's barely noticeable. This little sceál is irrelevant, but the pic reminded me of it :P
