  • Wind 1 - 0 Door | Whoops - Repair in Manchester?

    Hoping somebody here might be able to point me in the right direction.

    Went out for a drive the other day and ended up by the seaside on a breezy day. Didn't engage my brain before opening the door, pulled the door handle and it only took a second for the gusting wind to get behind the door and bang, door slams into the wall next to me

    Managed to give my a door a good old dent and scratch, as can be seen on the video. I have a DS3 DSport+ 155thp leased for two years, so I need to get it repaired before it's returned to Citroen next year, and would ideally like to get it seen to before I get it serviced in October.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on repair centres in the Manchester area, and possibly a rough estimate price wise?

    OOH. Not nice at all
    Just standard repair places/ body shops
    Maybe try a few salvage places to see if they do a door in your colour- never know your luck. And haggle!

          Thanks for the replies. Is it looking like a new door rather than a repair job?

            No- not at all. Difficult to assess damage fully with just a photo, but normally it would have to be repaired and resprayed, maybe the whole door. Reckon that would be £150 to £200, and it may be easier to replace the whole door, and cheaper. If you are really lucky, may get away with just pushing back into place and a touch up.

            Best get a few quotes as the damage may not be that bad

              Had a drive around to various places, been quoted £160+VAT for a repair/respray and 3 year guarantee (car goes back to Citroen next year). Thanks for the posts
