    So I really fecked up tosay and hit another (parked car). Don't ask, it was the most idiotic thing I think I've ever done.
    Anyway I waited and met the owner and they're taking it to a body shop tonight. Does anyone have any clue what the attached might entail work wise? Is it possible to even guesstimate costs from a picture???

    I’m gonna guess €1200. Could be more depending on how much of the car the want to paint, or less depending on what sort of repairer it is.

    Bang on..it came in at 1150 and got him down to 1000. Gutted as this was the result of a completely stupid and avoidable mistake on my part.
