It may not be as bad as it looks. A decent body shop should be able to pull out the sill but a new or a decent second hand sliding door will be required although the existing sliding door may not be beyond repair by a decent dent removal person. Yes we know that they wont get it totally back to normal but nearer enough and a little bit of surface filler, respray and it should be right. We all feel your pain mate.

Bad times! That £370 sounds like a decent quote so with the money you saved from the other one you may as well treat yourself to some new alloys at the same time

Did a bit of fettling.... after buying three different sets of centre caps, none of which fitted, I bastardised my plain ones. Cut and sanded flat the vw ones and epoxy’d then to the plain ones.

I also primed, painted and lacquered my new rail cover.... shown here before lacquer. It’s now had theee coats, and I’ll attempt to fit it tomorrow
