Default passenger door hit :(

Had my passenger door backed into yesterday by an old man who didnt bother to look in his window ........ Guess im going to get a new door skin. Pretty upset about it since my car was pretty mint. Whats the best way to fix a door? the door its self is fine its just the door skin that got a big dent. Im just glad it was not my rear quarter panel.

Now since the car will be in the body shop not sure if i wanna get a Amuse style front bumper or just shave the front plate holes on my AP1, I would want a CR lip but wold be real expensive to get a AP2 bumper and CR lip.

if the dent isn't a creased one then i'm sure any competent body shop should be able to pop it out...post a pic, that would also help.

you should first try to pop it out your self,

take off the inside panel and give it a couple wacks with a rubber hammer while holding your hand firm
on the out side.

if there isnt any paint damage, you can get away with popping it out yourself or bring it to a dent remover.
