I can feel for you. Scratched and dented my door on garage pillar a few years ago.
A tip.... drive head on into garage, pop the hatch and climb out from the boot....  :nerd:

You might think it's funny but once I did successfully park into the garage, I got one sister to close the garage door (so no one could see) and one to open the boot and fold down the rear seats. Had to take my shoes off but it wasn't that difficult!

Been there mate :cry:

Dunno. Need to have a good look at it and see what the damage is first.

Should I get the dealer to do it, or should I attempt it myself? OR an independent garage (haven't found a decent one round the midlands).

Yeh sure am! PM me and I'll give you more details. Looks as though you'll need both doors painted as they will have to blend. Don't worry, my bodyshop have plenty of practice with your colour  :wink:

Donut! easily dun though. the best was a few years ago when i bought a 6 month old clio, it was only a 1.2 i ragged it to sh!t when i drove it. took it round my mates to show him 2 days after having it proud as punch (was only 18 at the time), he lived on a small holding at the time with his parents, anyway his old man turned up on his 'mule' which is like a quad bike with a cab and trailer and didnt see it parked by the house cos it was dark and reversed into it! he made a hell of a mess on the front end, the trailer bit went all the way up the bonnet stopped at the windscreen, turns out he thought it was abit of resistance from a log or sumthin on the ground and put his foot down  :undecided:

that was 1000 pound worth of damage on  2 day old car!!

hope this makes you feel a little better!  :smiley:
