please tell it can be repaired dontwant to drive a mondeo for lifeRe: body damage
Hi dave badluck fella, if it any consilation my rear nearside 1/4 was creased from top of light to top of rear side window and along as far as the sliding door, it was un pullable and needed a new panel about 380 odd quid from memory for the panel alone 
light was from club shop, mine was swiped by a lorry when my outlaws borrowed it 3 weeks after i got it 
the total bill for repairs was £1300 odd which i did not pay for 
dont forget the offside panel is considerably bigger tho 
goodluck with it hope it can be pulled out and sorted it will depend alot on how bad it is, has the crease breached the roof line 
the place i went to chopped the new panel so it didn't go into the roofline said he didn't want to go there

Re: body damage
Location, Location, Location and photos of the damage please. Rear light clusters and rear bumpers are available on ebay and from spare parts suppliers who support this website. Depends really on how bad is the damage to the side pannel, people have repaired slight bumper damage themselves. If you are near Wigan bigdaddycain can put you onto the bodyshop that Wheelquwick use.

Welcome dave.h. I crunched my bumper and managed to get it looking really good with hot air gun, bunched cloths as dolly's etc. then resprayed it. It can (sometimes) be done as the plastic is amazingly compliant (I even welded the split in it using some spare bumper material (from foglight cutouts) as 'solder', and with hot air gun and putty knife, wet n drying it all down afterwards.

Re: body damage
Hopefully it won't be too bad.... I've got a similar situation at the moment due to a bit of carelessness on my part!
Anyway, I got the bumper back into shape by heating it up with a hairdryer and pushing the dent from the back. Pity I can't use the same technique on the rear panel!!
