Have I written off my car?
I had a rather unfortunate incident today and I've ended up crashing my lovely little Volkswagen Lupo. The door is damaged, but opens and closes fine. The car itself drives fine.
Do you think this is something which'll write off my car. Or can I fix this myself?

If the door is badly damaged but nothing else then you can probably get a replacement door from a scrapper (may not be the same colour).
