Hi Bob. Thanks. Is it possible to repair it?

ADV, There is just scraping on the cover. It's not holed or leaking in any way. So it could be cleaned up and painted if your of a mind. Tell. me which side you're interested in and I can take a picture for you.

I scratched the right side.



   

Bob - that will buff right out. No seriously, you may be able to take that to a good body shop and they can fix that up so that it looks perfect. Probably cheaper than a new one too.
