I've scraped my car extremely badly on a curb in a carpark In front of the rear wheel. It's bent the panel in and scraped the paint off down to metal, Is this even repairable given where it is on the car? Would appreciate any help

I would head to a trusted local bodyshop and get their advice.

I've done this on the underside of my car before and I felt so stupid, but accidents happen!

It is definitely repairable, not sure why you wonder it might not be?
Its a question of whether it can be done via a PDR or needs a regular body shop repair. I guess its the latter but nothing terrible.
Accidents happen and its fixable!

Where are you based? I am up north, near Leeds and I know some amazing body shops that could fix that no problem.

Thanks for the replies they are reassuring, this is the first time I've ever damaged a car so went into a bit of a panic. I'm based near Guildford and I've gone to a local bodyshop and it's booked in for a couple of weeks time. Turns out they've done work for someone I know with the same car in the same colour so I spoke to him and he's really happy with the work they did

Out of interest what did they quote you for the repair?

Please can you also tell us who they are - Guildford isn't too much of a trek for me in order to get someone recommended to fix my scratch

It was Pendleton Body Repairs next to Ash train station and I paid £800. Here's a photo now that it's been repaired, I'm really pleased with how it turned out. In person you can't tell at all that it's been resprayed which was originally my main worry with the pearl paint.
