   Hello, some days ago, a car crashed into mine in the parking lot...
   Resulting mine going to a Citroen repair shop, but they asked me to buy the rear quarter panel of the vts since citroen no longer has/produces.
   I am having a hard time getting it online, can anyone help?
   
   thank you

   seeing the price of that + add the citroen labour costs to that and you're better off buying a complete car.

   Indeed, that is a seriously ridiculous price, i might have done a mistake, i am not sure.
   I don't think its the whole rear quarter panel, i will confirm tomorrow.
   I think its the plastic thingy missing on this:

   i am trying to look for the OEM part number that connects to this part 8500R2
   
   http://carpartscatalogs.info <-- there are rear quarter panels, but like all the websites from my country, the pictures don't show the plastic panel i actually need....
   I just need this bit ( am 95% sure of)

    I need to use citroen repair shop payment details, i can only buy from "official" shops, but thanks for the offer...
    I can buy both left and right panel in Portugal for 40€.... but from a person....i can only spend 107€+-(80£+-) which is the panel price in citroen, complicated situation :/

    you don,t get a quater panel --Ithink its a complete side including door hole --which they then cut and use bit that they need--thats why its expensive
    about 10hrs is tme for replacement from memory
    
    somehting you boys should consider when you insure the car
    insure it for an agreed value --not just by its year --then they won,t rite it off -as value of car would be £300 ish --which means insurance wouldn,t even replace awing +bumpr +grille panel +h/lamp
    car would be a total loss 0
    
    it will cost you an assessors inspection fee to get an agreed value insurnce ,but only way to protect your cherished toy -insured my race car for
    roaduse that way
    made very little difference in premium

    I actually just talked with the Citroen shop, and we agreed they would give me the money and i would get the quarter panel, which i did 1 hour ago, problem is, and i totally forgot to check, was the metal thingy that connects the quarter panel to the car, its missing... i need about a dozen of these
