defect/ dent in passenger door. repair or buy replacement door?
Hi peeps,
Just looking for some advice, have a defect on the lower half of the front passsenger door which the previous owner of the car did a good job to pull the dent out (i think some plonk wasnt looking and drove into the side of him). Its noticeable to me but not so noticeable to others but i want it fixed! in certain lights it looks real bad. MY dilemma is, do i take it to a body shop and pay probably hundreds of pounds to get it fixed or what about buying another door from a scrappy? I've seen them being sold in ebay for like £50. Would it be easy/cheap to install, mines a silver 97wrx. what do people think?
cheers

Have you ever thought about paintless dent removal, ive had some done on a few cars. If the rear of the pannel is accessable then theres a 90% chance it can be rectified. The best thing about it is they come to you, normally around £40-£50 per pannel.
