#1: Replacing door Author: stg-joker, Location: buxton, norwichPosted: Wed Apr 11, 2012 12:37 am ---- Hello there
The other week some guy decided to hit hit and dent my drivers side door therefore as im on a budget i thought it would be easier just to replace the door..how hard is this and is it something i could easily do?
Secondly if i matched the colour code and got a door off a same colour car would you still be able to tell the difference?
Many thanks.

Can i swap the barrels round?

But you might be lucky...
