Normally with that work, i'd say a 2/3 days. As I did a 306 rear door and sill a couple of years ago when I did work experience for a company, was in and out with in 2 days. So it depends how good the bodyshop is I guess. But insurance companies normally give bodyshops 2 days to work.
If that helps atall.

Either that or Scott and Koni are doing the work.

Thats not bad...its just that its booked in for Eibachs, a RARB and new exhaust system next Tuesday. I think i'm dreaming if I think thats going to happen now!
The guy who picked it up said that it usually takes up to 5 days for the work to start once they get the car, as they have to give the quote to the insurance company and they have to okay it etc.

it's quite an easy repair tbh mate, new door, if there's a dent on quater panel then get that out, and paint and blend it. I think you'll be seeing the VXR by Friday imo.
