how much for a new door?

[gashead1105]

Look's like someone had a go at my passenger side door last night - the bottom corner, where the door would meet the back pannel, has been bent out and it looks like the door doesn't seal now. Didn't have much time to check it closely this morning on way to work, so I'm going to have a close look tonight to see if my suspicions are correct, but I'm very annoyed!

Anyway, I'm hoping it could be repaired, but if not, does anyone know how much a new 182 door (I have a FF with electric windows), painted arctic blue, is approximately going to cost? Without labour charges I suppose, although as I live in london those will be extortionate anyway!

Prob looking best part of a grand for all that imo

Thanks. That's about what I thought. Really hoping it can be repaired as I can't afford that at the moment (don't want to make an insurance claim either if it can be avoided)!

Cheers gally. That's what I'm hoping can be done, going to have a good look tonight and take it to body shop. Was just wanting a guestimate for the worse-case scenario...

I'm an assessor so you can take it as a good guesstimate.

Where abouts in London mate?

My mate who works in a bodyshop in Essex could probably do it for a reasonable price.

I got quoted 2.5k for a dent I had and his boss fixed it for £130 :|.

You're still not talking a grand mate sorry.

Nobody replaces a £150+ door for a small repair in the corner.

And the clio doors aren't great to do you need to weld new hinges onto the new door so any garage worth their salt will want to repair.
