JayJones877 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 So one evening I was out at the misses houses minding my own and then when I went to go home I find a great big dint in my passenger door! No one left any details or anything so now I have to folk out my own hard earned money for something I did not do! Anyway I could do with some advice please. Do I need a new door or do any of you reckon a panel beater could sort it out? And if I do need a new door then does anyone know where I can get one from? Cheers for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarksST Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Difficult to say without seing it, best off taking it in for a quote. Have a look on eBay etc for fiestas being broken as you might be able to pick one up cheaper in the same colour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarksST Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Looks more like it been kicked rather than hit by another car. The creases at the top might make it difficult to repair, so possibly a new door skin. I'd try looking for a replacement door. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Echoing Marks comments, I'd go for a used door from a scrappies, if they can repair the dent it probably will need re spraying. All that adds up and you may find it costs more than getting a used door 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJones877 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Yeh I was thinking it's going to have to be new door. I went around a few places today but alot of them are shut probably because of it being the holidays. Alot them said I need a new door aswell can't have anything these days.

ukcal Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I can't quite tell from the photo, but if the paint has gone anywhere, I would imagine a door would work out cheaper, else it will need a respray on top of reshaping... I assume claiming anything from your insurance company is out of the question too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPig Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 The door is double skinned at the top so difficult to do a decent repair, door skin as a minimum, used would be cheaper if you fit it yourself and do the preparation for painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJones877 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 It's looking unanamous, so a new door it is then. As far as my insurance, I'd rather not have to lose my no claims and get my insurance bumped up in price.

VickiW Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 No solution but Jaysus that's terrible I'd have lost the head, did you knock on neighbours doors to see if anyone saw anything? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
