#1: Fitting new door and bonnet Author: niki945, Location: MacclesfieldPosted: Mon Jan 20, 2014 7:08 am ---- My bonnet and passenger side front door are pretty dented, I've managed to get spares for £90 delivered. How much will I be looking at to get these fitted? (I can't fit them myself)
Also, my car has central locking - what will the situation be with the replacement door - how will I open and lock it?

A job like that shoudl take around half an hour to do both. Its only 8 bolts!!
Dont forget to change key barrel over.

Yes they will , again plug and play depending on if the electrics are the same! If unsure i would say it should cost around £20-£30 for someone to do it for you
