Not bad at all mate. Looks a hundred times better. Just goes to show what you can pick up from Ebay and the price they sell for. Nice one :-)

yeah some guy won the boot off the car i got the door off and the end price for the boot was £1.50 so the guy told him not to bother he could just have it! was a nice guy well recommend doing it this way instead off getting £100+ bill for repairs etc

i spoke to someone they said it would be hard as the dents came out they had split the paint and there was a risk of it cracking

i was driving the car the other day and noticed a little whistling from the new door had a look and it seems to sit a little low i remember someone mentioning adjusting the hight etc how do you do this? is it just a matter of trial and error with the two bolts on the hinges??
