Ford Focus wing damage - should I replace or repair?

The rear right wing on my 2004 Ford Focus has been badly scratched. The mark is one meter lone and quite deep. Should I get it repairs or replace the whole wing?

Reads like more than a minor damage repair so you need to get quotes from a bodyshop. If the panel is not displaced, then will be much cheaper to fill and paint than to replace.
