I'm after a good condition drivers door, paint condition or colour not too important as I'm looking at a full respray.
Mine has an annoying dent across the swage line that I'm informed can't be removed so I need to replace or have a new door skin fitted?

PS: anyone know the sort of cost in getting the skin replaced?

I needed a new doorskin after some old duffer drove into me about a year ago and the bodyshop man reckoned it was ?167 for just the skin. No idea if this was +VAT or not, probably not since not many car businesses don't like to add VAT for prices.

As to labour etc ontop I have no idea as it was an insurance job.

?167 plus vat for the skin ain't bad, I was told about ?150 a while back but it's the labour for putting it on?

As I'm looking at a respray then I guess the thing doesn't need anymore than just prep work prior to painting so this should cut down on costs of blending the colour etc after fitting the skin?
Have thought about insurance claim but even with protected doesn't it still count against you and cost in the long run?

I've got a door, in storm blue. Got a very small dent on the front edge though- probably best if you could view it yourself. ?150 plus VAT.

I have a black door with a small scratch which only just went through the paint. However, if it was to be resprayed, that would be sorted in the standard prep work on the door anyway.

?90 +p&p if you are interested.

Cheers Guys, I thought this would be a difficult request but in the last 24hrs I've been offered SIX !!
Nathan, Storm Blue one? Problem is it's dented though, and nearly twice as much as everyone else wants for theirs (?90-?100) http://www.mkivsupra.co.uk/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Any got glass or mirror still attached or are they just the door itself?

Thanks, Paul.
