Your talking about playing around with the whole structure of the body shell. I think it might be a bit harder than what your thinking.

actually have some experience in this as before i got my 206, i was getting my civic coupe rear 1/4s done due to heavy rust (in the end i scrapped the car, rusted floorpan ), i did however watch my mate (a fully qulified wielder/mechanic) when he was working on my car.
1, place new panel against car (mark around the outside so you know where your cutting)
2, check there is nothing structural in the way (support bars, fuel pipes ect)
3, cut out old panel, about 1cm below the line you drew
4, wield in new panel, using a tig/mig wielder (not spot wielded, wont be strong enough, you can spot wield it to keep it in place while you wield it the other way)
5, grind the panel flat
6, fill any remaining gaps/uneven parts
7, sand smooth
8, prime panel
9, sand smooth
10, spray colour of choice
11, laquer panel.
that is just a rough guide, i accept NO responsibilty for you damaging you car or injuring yourself.
if you want an honest oppinion, get a professional to do it, will cost maybe £250 for just the cutting and wielding, also at least it will be done to conform to the structeral regs required.

If you have to ask how to do it then you havent got the skills to make a safe repair
Im starting to worry about a lot of the questions being asked on here lately, I dread to think how many bodged up & unsafe 206's are driving around after diy repairs have been done!

what sort of damage is there to your quarter panel im guessing it must be bad if you thought of fitting a new panel?
