Minor door repair - How much? - Tom Shaw
Last month my nearside door blew open and caught the window ledge on the front of the house. Bit of a dent on the lip of the door about one inch deep which I managed to pull reasonably straight with a mole grip and then covered with one of those stick on door protectors. Job well done and forgotten till today when I saw what looked like a more attractive set of door protectors in Halfords. You can guess the rest, pulling off the original protector took a chunk of paint with it!

s**s law, this is just big enough to remain unhidden under the door protector. Galvanised body on the Lupo, so no worries there but it looks unsightly. Any idea what I might be looking at cost wise for a minor repair and a small bit of paint touch-up, or do they just want to replace the whole panel nowadays?
