Auto body repair & detailing: Car Body Repair, fiat seicento, car body repair


Question
Hello,

I woke one morning to see my Fiat Seicento had been hit by another car.  
Unfortunately they didn't leave their details so I have to decide wether or not
to go through my insurance at £250 excess with 2 years no claims...

Anyhow, I got an estimate to repair the damage at £500..  As an expert in this
field, I wondered what you made of the fee?  Here's a picture of the car:

Thanks for your help,

Answer
I got the picture and I am guessing you are not in the US. My software does not cover Fiat since the 80s. I am not sure of the conversion rate but you look to have at least $1500.00 US. depending on parts cost. What is the body shop labor rate there?
