206 Door

bennyc

I hit my mates passanger door a while back and he got a few quotes for panel beaters etc, he was advised to get a new one. Personelly I would prefer for him to go to a dealer and get a new door fitted to avoid loosing any value at trade in . he says go to a breakers and getting one saving my bill. Question is .. is there a noticable difference between getting a new one and a breakers part (considering you get the proper matching one etc. Would the car loose any value by getting this done away from a dealer etc.
I would hate getting a third party fitting and the car looking like a crash repair.

Cheers

When it comes to trading in time, most good salesmen will be able to spot a respray job. whether there's a new or old door underneath won't make much of a difference. The panel beater will have to spray some of the rear door and the wing to make it all match. your car wil lose some of it's value no matter what you do.

try to get one secondhand in a scrapyard in the same colour and it probably wont be as noticable try traynors they will loads of spares for 206's cos they mostly have northern cars so you should be able to get one the same colour and they are cheap as chips also
