Last Thursday night/Friday morning someone did this to my door and drove off.

Been told by my bodyshop I need another. I have also bought a video camera to film the road outside my house. :x

The phone is good, I uploaded the image to Pinypic and copied the link.

Have you got a door for sale?

Most of it can probably be pulled out, though getting rid of all the ripples around the door handle will be the tricky part.

Hate seeing things like this!

Absolute wastes of space to hit a car and quickly try and get away!

If there is any positive to be had is that it looks like a replacement door will sort it, if they hit the rear quarter then it gets complicated
