Just found out today that some b4st4rd has run into the passenger door of my car. I hadn't noticed until somebody at work pointed it out. Not sure when it happened but it wasn't there when I washed it on Monday morning. I had given up walking round the car in the morning, checking for damage a couple of months ago. Looks like I will be starting again. It's about the only exercise I get!
It doesn't look too bad but I just took it to a couple of bodyshops, including my dealers and it is going to be over £500 to get fixed! Apparently MINI don't do door skins and it needs a new door frame. The guy reckons it would still be noticeable if they tried to knock it out and fill it. He said they get loads of MINIs with similair damage and it is really hard to fix as the metal on the doors is very thin and flexible.
To say I am gutted doesn't come close.:disapprove:
