whats happening with the panel gap on the passenger door? it seems to go from about 6mm to 10mm within a short distance.
it might be easier to source another good door in the same colour but it doesnt look that bad .

Nothing wrong with the gap might just be the angle.
A new door would be the best bet i suppose if 1 in the same colour can be found but i dont think it would be a spot on match and would need respraying anyway.
