    Hi Mick,

    Price to spray may differ due to them having to possibly remake / match the paint colour. As I believe Ford do not keep the paint colour codes after 5 years.

    Depends if the cars any good (apart from the dent).

    If it is could get it tided up for about £800

    Just knock it out as best you can and fit a second hand light unit. The way the panel has creased the boot floor has moved down, judging by the rusty wheel arch the poor thing is not long for this world.
