Yup, Dubai doesn't have it like that. OEM Front fender is approx. $400-450 and the OEM door skin is around $750-800. Add the cost of installation and paint as well, it would exceeded $1,300 (check below).

I guess so. Apparently, this whole job costs (pulling, putting, sanding, paint) less than $1,300. Any job over $1,300 requires prior evaluation of the insurance company before repairs can be undertaken. In my case, no evaluation was done.

UPDATE: Called the garage, car is ready for paint. Friday is off here so the paint job will be done on Saturday. If all goes well, should get the car back by Sunday *fingers crossed*

UPDATE: Car is fixed and back. Paranoid level 200% => 10%
