   100 is very cheap, your boots probably worth 50ish. and bodyshops charge 250.
   
   as for colouring, it may have weathered that much that its a different colour offset, but who cares its still cheaper to swap and respray than to get a new one welded.

   Make sure they are propperly welding the panel up and then smoothing over that. Same with the boot badges heard of bodyshops just using abith of filler big No No

   with some pro filling and layering, you can prevent chances of the filler crackin quite easily! so it doesnt matter if you weld it! as long as its not a rushed filling job!!
