New doors?

[reward4615]

I have a 2003 Honda Accord 2.0i vtech which some "kind" person drove into whilst I was out shopping (they didn't leave their details of course) and has damaged both near side doors (dented & scratched). I can get complete doors ready painted for about £300 to fit myself or should I take it to a body shop for repair and claim on my insurence?
I have removed/fitted doors on older vehicles, but am unsure if there is anything technical about working on doors with central locking, electric windows etc.
Any advice will be greatly accepted.

Nope ..
Easy enough. I would try and get a couple of door skins tho, if the damage has not damaged the door completely.

With respect to ALbags answer, I would not go for the skin for the reason of reselling 7 suspicion, for the time it takes to re-skin a door to the time it takes to re-fit a new / 2nd hand door is a lot, where was the damage done? do you have any idea? if so was there CCTV around, if you go for new doors try 247 cars spares, Google in UK Scrap / Insurance write offs you will find one on there ready painted provided you have the right Paint code.

I have fitted several skins in my time.
You use a Sykes door skinner, and seam sealer. Bodyshops can do it in about 1 1/2 hours.
In some cases, you don't even have to remove the door, electrics, and latches.
Correct in saying "find parts already correct colour" tho. That's the easiest and cheapest way.
