Unhappy Look what they did to our car!

Took the wagon back to our local Ford dealer to have a bodged up door seal job redone, and the drivers door locking actuator replaced...

Didn't think it would come back looking like this!




They said that the senior technician took it next door to have the door seal done. The door had to stay ajar (to the first lock apparently) until the glue dried. He drove it back (not on the road), went over a bump, the door swung open and whacked a gate!

They rang to say what had happened, and I remained calm...
When I arrived it was worse than I had imagined, particularly where it had hit...I remained calm!
They will pay for repairs and we will be getting a car to use while ours is out of action.

How else can I make 'em pay (unfortunately typed words cannot provide the tone this is said in (based on the posts below)...this is moreso in jest and I know they are doing all that is possible, but if there is something else I don't know about that they should or could do, then please let me know).

Do you think this is repairable, or will it require a new skin?
I'll post more detailed photo's if needed to answer this.
