Thanks Shmosh, where did you get the dor from as I'm having trouble finding a new one and was that £300 just for the door or all together?
NOZ wrote:Theres a place down Forest Gate, East London which I recommend as they did my previous polo wing and bumper repair. Close to Kent. He'd probably charge you £90 for wing spray (what I was charged for a metallic wing) and £110 for the door (guessing). So fitting and repsray shouldn't be anywhere near £600.
Could you give me this places details or pm me his details please as that would be great. Thanks again NOZ

Thanks for all this help so far everyone.

it was roughly between 300-350 as i recal for a resprayed wing and door, plus the banging out of the wing and the new door fitting. I got it done at some body work place down the road from me. was an OK job, looks fine (they didnt fit the pannel in properly, but i did :) afterwards). They bought the door in and resprayed it. But you could always get a new door from a) ebay or b) a breaker. Or even better, a breaker on ebay!
