Help! Need a left rear quarter panel.
I scraped my left rear quarter panel badly enough it need replacing. My local panel beater refuses to use a second hand part (it's an insurance job) so what can I do?

Being an insurance job I guess money isn't the concern but finding a new one...
I doubt they have new ones anymore.

If you could it wouldn't be just a small part, it's massive and would involve a lot of work to replace unless you cut out the part you needed from the new part to match the damage on the car.

Re: Help! Need a left rear quarter panel.
That’s basically what they do which is why getting decent second hand part is acceptable. Lots of work and craftsmanship involved getting it to look perfect.
