Hi

Some low life bumped into my van yesterday evening while I was sleeping in the van
They left before I even had time to get out ( so no idea what car/reg it was!...)
At first couldn't see any damage, then saw this
bump or rear right door at bottom + scratch on bumper
i check the door open and closes fine

What do you think:
- dent remover jobby?
- insurance
- buy a new door

i'd rather not involve insurance if possible as i think you always end up paying more for it
the door has some addons (Absolut5 insulation, window film tinting, spoiler)

also i'm going to France end of July so need my vehicle available, and preferably not off the road for long
(I use it all the time)

advice/opinions please
thanks

Hi, anyone recommend anywhere to get front and rear spoilers painted? Don't fancy trying myself, think I'll mess it up.
Thanks
 
I used a local car body specialist for mine... you pay a little more but, you're paying for a quality finish...

If you let people know where abouts you are, then maybe somebody could recommend a local one for you

Cheers JasonW. Yeah I've emailed a few local bodyshops to ask. I'm in Lyme Regis, Dorset if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks, John
 
One of our friends has scraped her car door and needs a decent, recommended bodyshop in the Bournemouth area (lives Barton on Sea).
Anyone have a trusted reasonably priced bodyshop they use / would recommend?

Basically a bit of panel beating, filler and paint to get the family transport looking good again.
