He's very good. Through his skepticism and caution, he under-promised and over-delivered. He had to drill a small hole behind the existing grommet hole behind the rubber trim in the door jamb area, because the existing hole wasn't large enough for the diameter of the "stick" he used. The whole process was akin to watching facial plastic surgery. It looked harsh, awful and painful -- particularly on my 1,200 mile custom ordered, long-awaited new car -- but the result looked beautiful.

If you take to Jag approved shop there will be no filler. Most likely whole panel will be replaced per Jag rules. I'm going through this now as a small dent in 1/4 had a hidden rip and whole 1/4 has to be replaced if the shop is to remain approved. Insurance has pretty much gone along. Small rub is now a $6500 repair. Tail light took 3 weeks to get but 1/4 was in stock in US! In the good old days this would have been $750!

Thankfully shop #2 convinced my insurer that proper repairs to jag standards were not economically feasible in my case. In the end I got a new car instead of a cosmetically repaired p.o.s. I raised my concerns regarding the accreditation process and its effect on the CPO program with the jag guys who monitor this forum. Sounds like that conversation may have produced results. Amazing.
