Hi All,

Last weekend someone decided it would be a good idea to snap the mirrors off the doors and kick at it. End result is two badly damaged doors and a few other bits :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Anyway, I now need a couple of doors ( Front passenger and drivers side rear ). If anyone knows of someone selling some good doors please let me know.

Managed to get some mirrors and the other bits.

So angry!

If the doors are dented in without and bad creases, go to B and Q, and get one of there big suction suckers, like a glazier uses, you can get the single ones for about £3.00, wet it and clamp it to the door and pull you should find the dents pull out NP

Sorry to hear that,there are plenty of louts about these days.
The sucker trick will work,there are fairway doors on ebay usually expensive and no promise that they aren't full of rust. Get a panel beater to have a look maybe the damage will beat out.

take the door panels off and push the dents out, a sucker puller can work too

This happened when I was reversing and a woman failed to stop, all dents gone cost £10 to repair
I had a bit of filler and the paint for the small tare, and the bottom strip of the bumper just clicked back in
