replacement doors

Postby stocko » Fri Sep 09, 2016 9:49 am

Hi guys

so I have a question. my right hand side doors are stuffed a mate of mine drove down the side of my car and has cause an indent aswell as a crease and paint damage. he doesn't have insurance and I don't really wanna lose my no claim bonus as it takes my insurance so high. to get a paint shop to fix the damage would add a shit tone to my re spray so I was thinking I've found a wreck that's black sedan and has decent doors all the same trim. the only issue is mines 05 the wreck Is 06. is this a viable option or should I not bother

All gen4 doors are the same. Even wagon to sedan.

The only thing you need to worry about is the paint colour matching. If it has the same paint code and hasn't been repainted - go ahead.
