Re: My SVX got hit! ARGH!

I'm inclined to agree with Mike [above], with one strong proviso:

Hold out for a quarter panel replacement because it is costly. Then, compromise, do a deal. Get enough money to replace the other damaged parts, and including the cost of a good all over repair and respray.

Otherwise the newly repaired part will look glossy and repaired compared to the rest of the car.

Aim to end up with a pretty and well finished car. You actually don't need a rebuilt car Mike.
