Bonnet Dent Repair Cost?

Morning,

Seen this car for sale locally at a low price, the main issue is these bonnet dents.  I'd usually just swap a bonnet but there are only 2 panther black Mk3 ones on ebay and both are scratched/scuffed anyway.  Anyone know if this is repairable (bearing in mind the bonnet is double skinned) and how much it'd cost roughly?

    I'm not sure how it happened tbh, the bumper looks alright though.  Where can you get a new bonnet in the correct colour for £200?  I'm seeing £300+ on ebay.

    Got a link?  Only one I can find is this one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-FOCUS-2011-2017-BONNET-PAINTED-ANY-COLOUR/122491846867?hash=item1c851540d3:g:VM8AAOSw8lpZFWlN

    I've got the car now.  Tbf it doesn't look too bad and the bonnet opens and closes fine but would like to sort it if I can.  It's slightly bent and touching the grill so won't be repairable.  Now looking for the cheapest way to replace... :smile:
