Hey there,



last night one of my neighbours reversed his SUV and rammed into the driver side door of my S40. The problem is that he doesnt have insurance so i need to get it done out of my pocket and bill him or sue him later...



My question to all you guys with eagle eyes is this.



- Can a simple Dent/Paint/Rebuff job bring back the glory or Should i change the pannel or the whole door has to be changed and how much it will cost me ... i know it can vary so a ball park number of the cost will help me haggle with the car man !!!



This is my first Volvo.. so i am unsure of the rigidity of the door pannel .. but my initial guess is that a Dent/Paint/Rebuff job will do the trick.



Please help me out with answeres here.. i am attaching the pictures for your better view..



Your help will be greatly appreciated.

If it were my car, if I would get an undamaged door from a breakers and then get it painted. Looks like the skin has been stretched from the bottom of the door so would take ages to get it to look right again and the resealed.
