Just offer them the money to repair or that's what your insurance is for.

A policy excess is the amount of an insurance claim you must pay if your car is lost, stolen or damaged. You only pay the excess for damage to your own car. You do not have to pay the excess for damage to someone else's ...

Bargain mate, get the colour code and it'll be a simple door swap that a bodyshop can do pretty quickly and then it's just swapping over the gubbins and trim

Make sure you get a bare door aswell, i noticed the link above was selling them complete. If these are still like the B6 doors the window runners and frame screws off at each side and slides out, so should be cheap cheap!!
