Would have to have had a better look at it. Looks like the door edge has damage on it too.

Really does look as if the back edge of the door is damaged.
The quarter could be repaired but would be better replaced
which would mean 6-700 quid.

You could also make it a lot worse. Stretching the metal a lot more
and panel beaters hate repairing other peoples poor work.

Do it at college as part of your course with the guidence and help of your teacher.
He will see any mistakes you are making and you will have evidence towards your NVQ.
