Some Idiot Hit my S2k
Doesn't sound like it needs more than door skin repaired/replaced BUT....
----BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT DOOR BASHING---
In my old car (Alfa), I had a total nightmare with what I thought was just a door bash. It was a hit and run in a mall parking lot and looked ugly but manageable. HA! Spent years bringing that door back in for repairs, many mechanics/body shops, because no one could figure out how to stop water from filling up the map pocket and soaking the carpet. Endless re-construction of interior plastic water shielding.
Eventually it was fixed but it would have been cheaper, and much less hassle, to just replace the door. So make absolutely sure that they tell you EXACTLY what the extent of the door damage is and that they KNOW WTF they are doing with it when they "fix" it.
