not happy at all!!

Last night went out for a meal with all the family for a birthday celebration and on the way there managed to cut it too sharp around a VERY tight corner due to someone parking a mondeo on yellow lines blocking me in my road and now have a 2' very deep scratch down the passenger rear door from a nail sticking out of a wall!! Is it worth getting repaired or trying to source a new door in the same colour??

I would get some quotes, we have a company down here that will repair the scratch and match the paint, rather than paint the whole side that some garages will say has to happen.

Too big for these "dents away" guys??

Long as the paints not cracked they can usually get the dings out and you cant see where it was. Small dents down here £50 to sort out.

Steven - Although it may not be a perfect match to the trained eye I'd consider a same colour second hand door.

However photos of the damage would help.

Andy - is there CCTV in the carpark?

Should have taken a photo of the illegally parked car, nothing to lose by doing this and trying to claim back any damages.
