You can order the panels individually, 100% sure on this. However, what a waste of the originally panel. All panels are clearcoated so even if the scratch is not deep the clearcoat finish will need to be re-applied. Try to locally sand smooth enough to remove the scratch and get a local body shop to re shoot with clear.

I agree!!
The wife left some unsavory items in MY garage which fell on my Smartie. Very sad day! Called the dealer and in a week I had a new deck. Before my wife said "what did you buy now?" the trunck was swapped out! Just over $100. I like this car more and more every day.
