Opinions on this scratch?

Hi, new member here, be nice

Score earlier today was Gate 1: Girlfriend 0.
does anybody think this could be fixed (she has a scratch repair kit)

or is a new door the easiest way to go?

new door mate im afraid, what were you thinking letting your missis drive your car?! tut tut, always ends in tears.

 

[joe25]

is her own car. only been driving a month. total cost of minimal repair is £180. (new door, hung and sprayed) not tackling the scratches to the back panels yet. just as long as the door can lock.

 

[Jack!]

Lol @ scratch.

 

[kudos]

new door defo, alot easier and cheaper

I'd be more worried about the dent/ hole TBH.

looks like there is a hole tbh

 

[joe25]

just noticed the hole. new back panel too then

Not quite that simple...

You'd be better off buying a new car than paying for that to be fixed

 

[Fletcher]

I would just leave it as it is. It must only be worth 50p anyway.

will cost about 3-400 to replace the rear quarter, the hole could very easily be welded up and the dent knock out and skimmed over with filler, costing alot less

T-Cut or a good branded polish

New door and ignore the rest unless its not just an old banger like im assuming it is.

 

[joe25]

it's an 03 plate. she expected to get a wee bump, but just a bit scared about the cost.

 

[DanEdser]

new door, and IDK what you can do about the rear quarter... new shell? :S

If that a scratch I would hate to think what you would call a dent ? I would be cheaper to pick up another car mate

 

[EvilPanda]
