Paint damage
Hi all, I can't believe I'm having to post this...totally raging 
. My girlfriend took the S2000 out tonight, and on coming home scraped the rear wheel arch against a steel piller in the car park. Gutted!
Pic of the damage is below, paint is totally scratched away and it has a distinct red colour on the very rim of the wheel arch (the colour of the piller). Does anyone have advice on how best to fix this, and what it's likely to cost? Thanks for any advice...

Cheers for the replies guys. £150 doesn't sound so bad. Sadly, I'm in Glasgow, far, far from Kettering. Don't suppose any members from round my neck of the woods can recommend a good bodyshop?
She's not quite my ex-gf (there was an angry shouting moment though...
), but I did win one victory: She's decided she's never driving my car again, ever. Regardless of what it is, therefore she will never again moan at what car I want to buy because she won't ever be driving it. Result!

Someone dropped some wood against my rear arch last year and I had it resprayed. Was blended perfectly and even though I know where it was, I still cannot see its been done. Cost me £200.
(I know what was dropped on it and who done it but they buggered off and I couldn't prove it! Thats why I had to cough up myself!))

Mate, sh*t happens at the end of the day and it was an accident. At least it's easily repairable and no one was hurt.
The side of the bumper and the 1/4 will need to be blown through but I doubt it would be more than about £200. Tom probably didn't think about the bumper when he said £150.
