So, pair of doors maybe £500. Body shop to fill the damage to the sill and wheel arch and match the paint up, another few hundred quid.
Surely less than a grand all in?

HAHAHA, no, you're not are you!
If you want to do it properly (and who wouldn't, on a 2 year old car) that is a £1500+ job all day long; I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a grand in parts and you really don't want to be DIYing the sill, unless you're a professional panel beater.
Edit: changed my mind, £2500 after a rough tot up.
Edit 2: Not a bad guess, based on those images, I just did an insurance estimate and it comes out at £2465 - would almost certainly be more after a physical inspection. ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........
