Default ST170 aftermarket bodyparts

Have 2 nice big dents in what i thought was a sideskirt but is actually a rear quarter panel, or something ha.

it is basically the rear wheel arch and whole side of car behind the door, running back to the boot. A fairly big piece. Have been quoted £1500 by a ford garage, just for the part!!!

Was wondering if anyone knew any reputable places would be able to sort me out? Also if you know what price?

It will be a bodyshop job to fit though. Sure it can't be pulled straight instead of replacing the whole panel?

Thanks for the reply pal, will that bit fit the st170?

And im not sure about it straightening out, my uncle knows a good bodyshop so im going to get it booked in to sort out a crease on the boot, and will ask what he can do...

However im not too optimistic and think a replacement is due, ill try upload some pics tmoro tho

Yes they are all the same apart from on the RS models. You'll be surprised what a bodyshop can do with a slide hammer and a spot of filler!

Suppose the bodyshop would tell me straight away!
