Just mulling over the options for repairing the body damage which my 240 wagon had suffered before it came into my ownership.
Here's the damage:
The nearside has obviously had a scrape which has mostly affected the rear door and wheelarch. The wheelarch is not quite as bad as the photo makes it look - I think at least half of the damage is paint residue which could presumably be polished out. The area nearest the door however is dented and down to bare metal.
I don't want to leave it unrepaired, but I also don't want to spend a fortune on the car.
I'd just be interested in hearing some opinions re getting it repaired - whether that be through a body shop, smart repair place or other. It's metallic gold so presumably will be a pain to colour match.
