Some little punks tried to get into my passenger door last year, I got an alarm fitted afterwards.





I went to 1 bodyshop (Greame ) who said it would be £200 to plate over the hole and spray the door. I'm happy with that price but I'd like to know if anyone on CS could do it cheaper. The car is up for sale next month.

New door/scrappy door is out of the question as its too much effort to remove all trim and re-fit alarm bits.

Any help?

That door handle will need to come off for the work to be done so its all going to be stripped anyway.

I don't think I can strip a door by myself, I could just get a body shop to do that

Will search the scrappys
