    We really need to see the damage to give you a price...

    Get a few quotes from smash repairers, we can't help you much without seeing the damage first hand, sorry.

    Fill in your profile so we know where you are

    John at Cresta might be able to help with a replacement door, window and mirror. Probably cheaper than fixing it.

    AndyMac Better than you

    To fix will cost you around 2 Gorilla's probably more.

    edit: sorry...most of below is probably crap as any self respecting panel beater not bent on ripping you off is gonna find a 2nd hand door...so much bloody easier.

    Find a replacement from a wrecker with a mirror and window and get it sprayed. It will halve the cost.

    Call John at Cresta in Brisvegas as advised above and get a price on a replacement.

    Most of us are not panel beaters by trade...actually i don't know if anyone is...heeellloooo??

    a) they'll have to either remove the skin from the door and beat it back out...timely and may not look great. Or go cheap and bog it all up :eek:

    b) You'll have to buy a mirror,

    c) you'll have to get a new window made bout $300-500

    d) Then they'll prep and spray...and depends on the guy costs will vary.

    hint: Buy a 2nd door w/ mirror, prep and spray...done

    As stated already, get a new door.

    By the time you get a mirror, window and repair the panel (which looks pretty far gone) it would be cheaper to get a complete door from a wrecker. Not sure what doors go for, probably around $500. maybe another $500 - $800 to paint fit and re-align.

    Also keep in mind 2seater and 2+2 doors are different.

    Same length but different profile window/B pillar at the roofline.
