    As above, will cost more then £400 by a decent bodyshop, will have to be put on a jig for that rear quarter to be pulled out, and looks like you may have boot foor damage, which will have to be pulled out as if the tow eye has bent then most likely has bent the boot floor.
    
    Would be best if you break the car for parts tbh.

    from the pic i would say youve killed it creased quarter panel and damaged chassis means alot of money.i think a jig is around 600 quid before you get the hammer out .next time practice doing j turns in a wide open space
