Well 40k trouble free miles since 2011 July, when I bought it new.

This happened this morning. Unavoidable to hit on the highway.

Now gash/hole in door.


Replace door?
Or does it look fixable?


Hope all of you are well.

Oh hey you're still alive. We all figured you were banned or something :p.

That sucks. Looks like it got nailed right at the Nagare line. I'd replace the door rather than bother with fixing it.
 
To me that looks fixable but I would definitely be getting some estimates for both door repair and replacement. My decision would be based on price.
 
Thanks guys.

Yup alive. Sadly they don't ban me, regardless of how much I try.


Not sure if $$ is imp. Insurance will cover it. 0 deductible. Made 2 appointments. Will update the thread

Thanks
 
Hey Mr. 90210!! We thought you either got banned or ran away from us jackass lazy Mexicans here! Never mind, lets not get started again... Anyway, that sucks about your MZ5 man. Whether you pay or the insurance pays, no decent body shop will repair that. They will tack on a new door skin, painted and voila! Of course unless you do this repair at a chop shop then you may be in for bondo central. Good hearing from you!

I am taking it to the shop that does work for our lotus challenge cars
They also do the Beverly hills bmw
