Are you referring about PDR (Paintless Dent Repair) or traditional Body and Paint work?

During my first High-Performance Driver Education (HPDE) programme this year, there was a little collision with another vehicle. The situation had the potential to be far more severe. I consistently get Lockton Insurance, which incurs an expenditure of around $800 for the occasion, predicated on a value of $100,000. The insurance premium last year was in the range of the mid 600's, but that is a subject for another discussion.
The side Blade experienced friction, but the paint protection film (ppf) effectively shielded it. The decision to use ppf was wise. I successfully removed any noticeable scuffs by buffing them off. The rim sustained abrasions, however, the primary concern is with the quarter panel and lip. Is it feasible for a Paint, Dent, and Repair firm to address the issue without doing any bodywork, or should I choose for a reputable body shop? While I understand that discerning intricate features from a two-dimensional image might be challenging, I lack any prior familiarity with the PDR procedure and am just seeking some opinion. Over the course of many years, I have made substantial payments to Lockton. Consequently, I am inclined to use the insurance coverage they provide. However, I am uncertain about the most appropriate course of action to pursue. We welcome and value any comments or recommendations.

I have seen remarkable outcomes from paintless dent repair demonstrations on YouTube. Based on the visual examination of your photo, it seems that a highly skilled professional specialising in dent repair might potentially eliminate a significant portion of the damage. Uncertain about the area located just above your side marker, and just below the reflection of your phone, there seems to be a potential break in the paint. However, it is also possible that it is only a reflection. I highly recommend seeing a skilled dent specialist as a priority to assess the necessary actions thereafter.

The R8 body is made of aluminium, which means that paintless dent repair (PDR) is not a viable option. The bumper may be repainted, however the quarter panel will need replacement. If the cost is covered by insurance, it is an obvious and easy decision.

Is decreased value of the automobile covered by track insurance? I assume the answer is negative, but it is worth asking.

As previously stated by others, the task of PDR is anticipated to be challenging. Working with aluminium is more challenging, and it is doubtful that paintless dent repair (PDR) can effectively address the severity and position of the dents. An advantage is that the quarter panel of the R8 may be easily removed without the need for cutting or welding

Contributes to the narrative of your possession. Very few individuals on this platform can understand and connect with the following statement as well as you can:

I had my vehicle undergo paintless dent repair and the results were fantastic. I successfully removed two dents from difficult-to-access areas, leaving no visible traces of their existence. Although my situation was not as severe as yours, some paintless dent repair (PDR) organisations possess the ability to achieve remarkable results, especially when dealing with aluminium body panels.
