To add, the fact it was someone in your family that did it so you cant really be that angry!
Anyhu i took it took a friend who runs an insurance repair garage and asked for a quote.
Apparently it has just bent a safety rail inside the door so the entire door has to be replaced :shocked:
The quote ended up being just over £1000 to get it all sorted, even though it doesnt look that bad.
I was thinking cause its family i might just get a scrappy door and get it sprayed, or am i just being stupid and should get it done proply through insurance? Excess will be £350 on there bill.
If so anyone know's any good scrap yards near the Hertfordshire area?
Cheers
Parker

gutted :sad: id see if u can get one from the scrappy, no point with insurance if its cheap enough to replace. and the bonds of family might be torn due to them havin an excess and losing their no claims bonus.
but hey, u dnt have to do what i say lol

or you can get a brand new one for less than £100 on ebay too.. its not worth forking out the 350 excess

unlucky mate but good call by toph, that can be repaired for sensible money
and i wouldn`t call him a mate if he wants to charge you a grand to fix that :shocked:

Yea, the ones I know are ASM (Aylesbury scrap metal), there's a scrappy on long marston airfield (near mentmore) there's also one in kings Langley, (on railway terrace (near Hemel Hempstead)) I believe there is one on the A5 aswell (near dunstable), also I think there's still a vw/Audi specialist scrappy off the A414 (junc 4 A1M heading towards st Albans) just after the total garage.
Those should keep u busy for a while!! :grin:
