would be cheaper to source a door from a scrappy or get one new through them instead of going to vaux

got a door with glass from scrappy for £65 bodyshop re sprayed it and fitted it for £170 all it wasn,t too bad but if you get the right colour door just put it on yourself it aint to hard just make sure you got a mate to help as its a bit of a fiddle

Fitting a door is very easy, just have some friends handy as they're heavy.

There's usually a few on eBay although none at the moment, scrappy shouldn't want too much either, maybe £50-60.
