seeing from the picture, it isnt a really hard job, you can get away with doing it by yourself,
last weekend my mate has a mx5 which had the same problem but it wasnt vandals but his ex girlfriends who did it,
i had the paint job sorted out by the time the sun set...
if i were you i would just go down to halfords and do it myself....
if you were coming down to london any time soon i ould do it but you would need to buy the paint...

Scratched Sporty

I really hate those gits who do that through shere jelousy or as some silly sick pleasure. I'd rip the bugger to shreds.

As for the repair if the have dug into the steel and left an indentation then a local body repairer should be able to get it out and spray the panel. It won't be cheap mind. A cheaper alternative maybe to source a replacement door in the same colour. Crazy as that may sound there are a lot being scrapped in yeards and on ebay and it may prove cheaper to do that. The repair if as severe as it sounds may be too large a job for a mobile repairer but you can try them. Again they aren't that cheap and some bodge and the result is good for a short period. I'd either take it to a body shop or try and replace the door from a scrapper/ebay.

Then if you catch the B*****D hang him up by the prevebials!! swines.

Good luck
