Not happy when i heard a massive bang this morning, jumped out of bed and saw my neighbour stood by my car scratching his head and my car alarm screaming its head off!!!

Well thanks for that mate! He is actually one of the nice neighours and said he'd pay for it all just tell him how much it costs. cant say fairer than that.
So i now need a Door if anyone has one but please a great condition in mercury grey.
Pm me or phone 07870163689.

 

Shit thing to happen mate, atleast it wasn't the rear quarter tho.

Have you tried popping the dent out? You might get away wil that and a little paint.

 

Why and how did he do that.Has he reversed into it.

 

OOOOOpsie!

 

reversed into it with a frosted rear screen! ooopsie indeed

 

What a fooking burke.

 

Shame mate ,looks a tidy car

 

Am I the only one who has no piccies ?
Sorry to hear about car, but at least he fessed up with no moaning.
tabetha

 

pm sent mate

 

No good!

Atleast he told and didnt just drive off


Brian

 

ouch!!

 

Unlucky mate, hope you get it sorted fast, like said least he didnt drive off!

 

Very lucky where it actually hit by the looks of it!

 

It sucks, but at least it looks like the damage is entirely restricted to the door.

 

hit you in best place really looks easy repair could have been lot worse

 

its never a good thing when someone whacks your motor pal,bit like looseing a limb,but by the look of things it should buff out..............

 

Sorry to see this but at least he will sort it.

I had something like that years ago, just got the car back from the bodyshop after a resto and the neighbour reversed into it the following morning

Steve

 

you will be very very lucky if you get a grey door thats a perfect match, you will end up having the whole side painted

 

Only a wee ding,get some pon on it and some sand paper it ll be mint.

 

shame but as said at least its just the door.bet he defrosts from now on though! proper school boy error

 

i was thinking the same there is around 5 diffrent shades of that colour

 

getting a good door the same colour shouldnt be too hard hopefully,i was at a tyre garage last month,parked 2 meters behind a junkies dealers impreza,he was acting mad because he was off his face,he walked between the cars to get into his,he then reversed right back and broke my bumper in half(mk6 escort with eggshell bumpers),he said he would pay but i had to chase him and go into his drug den of a house to get £40 out of him.1 of the worst experiences of my life.that was good of your neighbour to own up,many wouldnt.

 

Right after scowling the country yesterday to try and find a door to get a quick fix i have realised that my car is alot minter than i thought and that people will lie to get you to travel 180miles round trip to look at a complete rusty, scratched, mullered P.O.S. 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.

 

Most of that dent looks like it will just pop out?

could you not just take the car to a decent panel beater to repair the door?

 

insurance will write it off m8 as thay will just see it as an old escort

 

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.

 

Will need the whole side of the car painting .Mercury grey is not an edge to edge colour.
Get a secondhand door,go to a bodyshop and for them to hang it and paint it £400 all in.

As someone said above,a good job it wasn,t the rear qtr.
