Hello, I've just had a minor accident (nobody hurt!) in my Stilo (2003 5dr), which has broken the right rear lamp cluster and put some heavy-ish scratches in the surrounding bodywork (picture attached). If anyone can provide advice on the repairs, I'd appreciate it!
A replacement lamp cluster looks to be around £50 inc VAT&del (from shop4parts.co.uk), does this seem reasonable? Fitting looks pretty simple, I've changed bulbs before and replacing the cluster should be just as easy.
For the scratches, is this something I can fix myself (no real expertise in this area!)? Halfords have 3-pen (primer, paint & lacquer) kits, would they be up to the job? I'm not overly concerned with getting it looking perfect - though it would be nice not to have it look too bad - my priority is making sure it's not going to corrode.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide!
