Great. No damage to the color. Best thing to do is to remove interior trim on that way by yourself and drive it to bodyshop for repair. They will do the work in not more than one afternoon and if luck there will be no marks of dent. They do it with vacuum and hydraulic tools. Here in Croatia it wouldn't cost more than 30 quids but in UK it would be about double :cry:

It looks nasty, but it's OK... :wink:
Just like Jure said, a professional will do it either with minor or no traces at all that anything ever happened to the body panel... :wink:

If it can't be pushed out you can buy that panel for ~£35.
