Damage to rocker panel?

Featured Replies

Hello

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this post. 

While manouvering at slow speed onto my driveway I clipped the high-sided kerb. 

The bottom part of the door looks like potentially just cosmetic damage and that the piece may even be replaceable. 

The part below (rocker panel?) Is pretty badly scratched and seems to be slightly dented in. 

Trying to gauge show much of an issue this might be and how much fixing it might cost. 

Car is 2018 reg skoda superb sportline estate. 

Thanks

Dave

The gloss black trim is replaceable, the trim piece it sits on comes unpainted so maybe just repair your current one.

The actual sill itself does not come as a easily replacable part and would need repairing and repainting.

Appreciate the quick response. 

What's the best way to get the trim pieces? Direct from skoda or widely available online?

For the damaged sill is it serious or something I can leave? Appreciate it may be hard to tell from the pictures. Assume I'd need to go to a body shop if I was to have it fixed. 

You would need a bodyshop to assess fully but based on the limited pictures I’d say the damaged sill can be left alone if you didn’t want it repaired.

 

the trim panel can be sourced from Skoda correct, or it may be cheaper to find a used part possibly on eBay or a breakers.

Thanks again. I'll take it to a bodyshop and fingers crossed it doesn't need much work!
