If your doors are delocked, I'd leave the boot as is....

its what happens when you buy a tub of filler,,,,,,, you loose the plot and fill and smooth anything


i remember on me old orion turbs when i was 18 i fillted the bonnet gap so there was a hair line between the bonnet and the wing,,,,,,,,,, then i realised under cornering that orion shells flex

I bought my car with all locks removed, had an alarm fitted and the bloke put the overide push in thing on the dash, he told me I could use it incase electrical interference stopped the fob from working, pylons and such apparently affect it. when i asked how i get in to press it he was stumped! I said I'd get a spare window glass kept in the boot!!!

Bent door all I can think of except grabbers which my alarm combats
