can anyone give ballpark repair cost for a damaged door and wheel arch?

Anyone here that that could give a rough estimate for a repair job as seen in the attached pictures?

The rear door has a deep scratch from a driveway pillar and wheel arch has damage from same impact. There is also a small mark on front door in the 1st picture that I would want repaired too.

I am looking at buying the car and want a repair estimate before making a firm offer on it.

€5-600 for a good independent job IMO. Is the inner edge of the arch rusting or is that muck?

You'll get bodywork infinitely cheaper so internet guestimates are very hit and miss.

My usual guesstimate is €200 per panel that needs spraying. The scratches/dents don't look too troublesome. €600

Thanks, I was thinking around €500, but that was a complete guess on my part.

No rust that I saw to be honest, but will have to check it again now if I go for it!

You need at least a tyre!

It all needs 4 of them replaced, another bargaining point in my favour.

I'd say 500 - 600eu. Had almost identical scar and dennings did for 500 in Dublin. 2 day turn around.
