Why do people have to say something is mint when it quite blatently not!!!
Car is now going through next doors insurance to be repaired, will they repair it or write it off??? I phoned ford and a new door is £310 inc Vat!!! thats before any body work???
Who can be recomended to repair this through his insurance as i will be telling them where it will be going.
The door will certainly not repair as easy as people might think, it certainly wont just pop out. If you do go ahead with a repair it will most likly be easy notcieable, large area, flat surface and swage lines cutting through it......it will look like the himalayas with a repair. If you took it to a bodyshop that spent them time to get it looking right it would outweigh the cost of the new door.
Id say if your worried about it being written off continue to look for a 2nd hand door, even if its in the wrong colour aslong as it not dinged it'll work out cheaper.
