Got my dented doors repaired
« on: 04 August 2009, 22:45 »
About 6 weeks ago I had a little accident while pulling into a driveway and badly dented the rear passenger door, slightly dented the front passenger door and dented the sill  :lipsrsealed: Brought it to the local body shop and they replaced both door skins and fixed the sills. It took about 5 weeks for the parts to arrive due to delays but they did a fantastic job and the colour match is perfect  :cool:
Some pics of the dents just after it happened:

It was even worse in the flesh  :lipsrsealed: You can't see too clearly in these pictures but the passanger door is bent inwards into the gap  :lipsrsealed:


And here is how it sat yesterday afternoon:

Much better  :cool:
Not low enough mk5
Not on the road enough mk3

Looks  :cool:

This is probably the only reason for removable door skins being advantageous.
Without traction power is nothing!
