Cars been hit a few times while parked, total of 3, mabey 4 cars hit it (No one left details but 3 differnt colour paints where left on the car - 3 dents, 2 scapes), most recently a white car. I looking to repair the damage but would you:

1) take the paint of the effected area to treat for rust, use filler then paint over. (DIY)

2) take it to a body shop to be pulled out, treated and resprayed

3) Other

Given the age of the car (and hence its value) I wouldn't think spending hundreds at a body shop would be worth it. You really need to sort the rear wing as it looks down to the metal. You can just touch up the bumper cos its just plastic underneath.
