Hi all.

My wife parked her car at supermarket and came back to find a dented driver side front and rear door.

She was quoted £1000 to have the doors fixed.

Was looking on eBay and could see second hand doors on there with the same paint code. The doors on eBay are fully complete. The total for 2 doors was £250.

I’ve done small jobs on the car before (replaced drivers door wiring loom). Is it an easy diy job to fit a new door (just bolt on)?

The eBay door is from a 2011 car but hers is a 2014 car, will eBay door fit?

Although the paint codes match, will there be an obvious variation in colour?

Thanks

You will only know if perfect match when you get them.

What Colour, what Paint Code.

Are the doors really bad, or is the £1,000 quote from someone that really did not want the job?

Maybe put up pictures.

The door hinges will have triple square spline if you need to take tham off. Not sure how easy it is to align them again. £500 per door seems quite a lot but I suppose by the time the dents removed and door sprayed etc. I looked into getting a few dents removed a few years ago and found the cheapest was small paint shops that don't do insurance jobs. Never did get round to it as Postman totalled the car when it was icy. There are a few mobile companies that will remove dents assuming there not too bad and are removable without painting. Think its called paintless dent removal.

Thanks for the replies. Paint code is LA7W which I think is Reflex silver.

Picture attached, back door is worst.

I had a good dent in my front wing which was taken out by a firm called axi-dent. www.axi-dent.co.uk

The technician did a brilliant job after about 45 min of tapping and tapping, at the finish the dent was gone, no sign at all. They only remove dents and do not do any painting. Might be worth a call.
