What a time of year to be cleaning the car.

Did the deer have a red nose?......Before it hit you.

That rotten news fella, sorry to have read this. In answer to your question, Im no expert but, it depends on how deep the dents are, my car was booted by some idiot, luckily i managed to pop the dent out, which didn't crack the paint..

hope you get it sorted

Thumbs up

If the paint isnt cracked or damaged under the surface Im sure an experienced dent master kind of guy should be able to manipulate most if not all of the dent(s) out without painting, best bet if you are unsure about where to get it done is go to the nearest big main car dealer showroom (vauxhall, bmw, ford etc...) and ask them if they would be able to put you in touch with the person/company they get to do their forecourt repairs.
It is common practise for them to use one as their own bodyshops are usually more expensive, slower and sometimes not as good because the dent master man has his company name to think about, the sprayer in the bodyshop may be thinking about hometime (although im sure they are all top guys )

By the description of the damage be aware it may be deer! (sorry had to)

I didnt think it would look that bad when I suggested finding a dent master guy, two new (breakers/ebay) doors would be best bet methinks. The front wing on the other hand doesn't look too bad from the pic so possibly could get it repaired.

Hope it is easy to source and get done fella,

Lee

To pull them out I think youll need to weld some nails on...and thus it'll need painting afterwards. As access to the inside of the panel is restricted by the door's internal structure, and the panels look like they are bent beyond "popping" the dent out, as metal will been stretched so there will be ripples when you pull it out, which will need filler.

Not a big job, pretty routine stuff for a bodyshop.

Might be able to straighten that wing - bit tricky beng right in the corner, but it depends on how much new wings cost (which will probably work out cheaper).
