Well, if it was only the wing that took the bang, then it would be a lot less, but I think I can see damage to the wing where the wheel has rubbed it or hit it, as well as the cowl and the bonnet. It is only when you start taking things apart that the true extent of the damage becomes apparent, and as Peter quite rightly says, it is all about the money at the end of the day, after all, what is the point of repairing a damaged car, which ultimately costs more than a similar car will cost to buy, without it ever having been damaged?
