Default Is this possible to fix?????

Somebody back into my car. The driver door is bent in, and the fender was hit back out. I think that getting a new door would be cheaper, but it's hard to find a door with no side mouldings. I would probably have to get the side moulding holes weld on, if I bought a door with mouldings. (Dont comment on the rims lol..unless u wanna trade it for ur rotas)

Is this possible to fix or would I have to get a new door?

Would it be cheaper if I just bought a new door?

I think a body shop would charge up the *** to fix the door. The fender is no problem.

Yeah kind of sounds like you answered your own question. I would just get a new fender too, since you already have to paint the door.

I would get a new fender regardless, those don't seem too expensive. as for the door, I think it can be pulled out and shaped. Although I couldn't tell you how much it would cost for either that or getting a new door. or which would be cheaper.

Get a different door. Fenders are cheap so I'd just replace that as well. But the door is not going to just pop right out. It would cost way more to fix than replace.

If you get a new fender and door then you would have to spend extra money on paints. Unless you lucky to find the same colour match like that at junkyards.

In this case, paint is almost definitely going to be cheaper than labor.
