As is typical, the check strap had snapped, dented the door and rippled the edge of the wing on the passenger side.
Its been like it since i bought it but its started to irritate me now.
Has anyone had this repaired?
As its a track car im not looking for a top class job but any examples of quotes would be useful.

Would it not be easier/cheaper to get a new door/wing?

if i could find them, id have them!
Currently the plan is to strighten the wing, fill it and the door then try find a cheap bodyshop/man with sprayer, big garage, no account book to spray it up.

I reckon you would still be looking at around £100 (using the prices around here) and that was if you prepped it all yourself.

hmmmm sounds about what i was thinking. Hate spending money on it as it is, let alone for cosmetics! surely a replacement door and wing would cost more?

Put it this way. To repair you are looking at £200 min. Average cost is £100 per panel. Can get 2nd hand door and wing for £100, maybe less.
I got a door in my correct colour recently for £20. So it can be done if you wait and keep your eyes peeled.
