Default Door dents - how much?

I'm going to Rockingham, so want my car to look the best. Trouble is that I've got a scrape and small dent on the nearside door.

It is maybe a bit expensive but I dont think it is a total rip off. A friend recently had to get the front left wing of his Jeep resprayed plus a new badge. That was 400 and something. Good news was once it was done it was impossible to tell

ROFLMAO, purple Micra

Is it the one with the door which is hard to open

I hear Brindley are ringing up prospective customers asking if they wish to test drive a new blue S2000 which they have at the moment

I left the paper bag in the glove compartment, came in useful
