I recently crashed my pug 206 and rapiared it. Me and my mate spend about an hour straigtening the slightly bent slam pannel and now its good as new, everything fits and bolts back together fine. wha i am wondering tho is would it fail it mot due to the small amount of evidence that its had a crash, you cant see the slam pannel under the bonnet, so would it isnt visible. will it fail or pass dya think, i might take if for an inspection anyway and if they think it wont fail ill sell up.
thanks aaron.
ill put a pic of it on tonight

If you repaired it correctly, you have nothing to worry about
