Thats good, well these things happen.
My mrs had some one do the damage to her and the cheapest quote she was able to find was from place called Old Classics or something like that, and they are based on park road in faringdon. But im sure there will be something similar in Swindon.
Insurance jobby could be good, just depends how much they will wack your premium up by or sometimes they could even calss it cat D. dont know grey area.
As for DIY job, getting a new door would do most of the damage, then try to bang out the creases on the wing and use filler to smoth it. that would be the quick ish route, obv will take some time to bash out grind back and fill and sand. alt could cut and weld but it be the case finding a wing somewhere.
I'll PM you my number if you ever need a hand.
