    Yes, I had a Suzuki GP100. Red, it was.

    Seriously, that's hardly worth bothering with if DentMaster can't do
    anything.

    For safety's sake he probably should be fused if he spends time around
    teenagers.

  4. If it's just the door and the body hinges etc are ok you could save a deal
    of money by getting a secondhand one. With a bit of a search you should be
    able to even get one in the right colour. The interior trim - and things
    like electric windows, locks etc or not can be swapped from one to tother.
    I'd expect a good secondhand one to cost no more than 100 quid.

    Can't disagree more NEVER contact insurance co unless you have to, never mind
    in writing.
    You have a duty of care to keep your losses to an absolute minimum so the
    scrappy would seem
    to be that route.
    Or look around other bodyshops I'd have thought a new door skin and paint
    would be a max of
    400 quid. We are talking pound notes of course don't expect a Vat receipt or
    be able to use your Amex to pay and make it clear this is the sort of
    transaction you're after.
    Good luck
