slow as hell, I didnt lose the backend, it just didnt turn as much as it would have on a tarmac, I touched the concrete post as obviously concrete posts are exactly smooth it caused this damage.
plus I had no long woke up :roll:
Ouch - I'd say £500 tp £1,000 depending upon your luck.
Fix the panel dent, flat and smooth. Prep the rear bumper and respray both. Blend into surrounding panels. Refurb of rear wheel.
Best drive slower and be awake next time..

Agree judging by the marks on the tyre- as so had factored that into repair costs.

+1. Wife hit a metal railing with her Saab scraped around rear wheel arch, deeper damage than yours shows, but no bumper damage. I did all the prep work (grinding, filling, sanding, rust proof and primer) and sent to a local paint shop - paint work still cost just over £100 for labour & materials; initial quote was £300 all in.
Expect your wheel refurb will cost £60 - £100 depending on where you go.

My other half keeps asking to be put on my insurance, or to just have a drive of the zed.... My answer remains firm. No.
You should put her on the insurance!
But dont let her drive it?
I did this, and saved £80.00 just be adding her name to the policy
Dont ask my why :?
My partner owns my zed on paper and im the second driver,saved me alot on insurance,It gives her security without the engagement ring to. So all round a massive saving unless she dumped me and took the car leaving me with just my transit connect.....over my dead body!!!! Sorry about your car, mines getting a bit of work done at the body shop across the road from me. Hope you get yours sorted soon
Sorry to see the damage. I reckon £350 for the bodywork, £80 for the wheel...

Theres no panel dent, just looks like it in the picture
and hindsight is a beautiful thing, never reversed off a stone drive before, front wheels just dragged back abit instead of turning the car as much as it should have... I was in first gear half bite and going off 1000 rpm and the post looked further away then it obviously was.
Can't say I need obvious comments like that.

Looks like a simulation amount of damage to yours, got it repaired for £160
Where did you get it done oli? was it a good job? I'd say yours looks worse as its down the black completely, mines more of a graze across the panels
Id be happy to pay that amount to rectify the bodywork
