No this isnt some funny video where a 206 demolishes a wall, this is what happens when you reverse out of a parking space into a brick wall
Awaits "was a girl driving?" and the "how big was the wall?" questions.
So do you think it can be fixed? Obviously the bumper is just a respray but the metal frame of the car has creased, creating a new line on the side of the car. Doubt it will add much to the aerodynamics of the car.
So go on, commence the laughter...

Go ask your local NON insurance approved bodyshop for a quote to repair it.
NON insurance approved body shops get work through word of mouth so they normally do a really good job so they get new customers.

What color was the wall? 
You'll need to check the fittings, but if a new panel should be okay?

A good bodyshop may be able to, but it won't be cheap...

Pop it out the best you can, and fill the rest. Then sell it.

I'm with Lee. 2bh I'd take the light out and try and hit most of it back out with a hammer and some wood then sand it down and filler it your self will save you ALOT, as body shops seem to charge more for the prep than the actual spraying.

Money isn't the problem, the reason the bumper is blue is because I had a GTi180 bumper fitted.
All I want to know is, can it be fixed? Because that part of the car isn't a panel like the front is it? It's part of the main shell of the car I thought

Yes it can be fixed, question is how well can it be done. You need to take it to a bodyshop to look at it, no one on here will be able to tell you without seeing it

Ouch!
It can be repaired either by Lee's suggested method or more expensively. They will jig the car remove the damaged area of the rear panel ( angle grinder ) and stitch a new piece in by redoing the spot welds and stich the gap where it was cut.

i think a new rear wing fitted would be well over 500 quid

That does not justify a new panel. Thats the sort of job a slide hammer was designed for.
