So I parked up for a stroll on the beach and when I came back to the car I see a nice bend in the door.
As you can see the bend is a bit of an eye sore.
Out with some masking tape to line up the repair area, a rubber ended G-clamp so I don't do any damage, a hammer (cushioned with a rubber bung) and finally some microfibre cloths and polish when everything is done!
I removed the plastic trim on the inside of the door so I had just bare meal to squeeze. I taped off the area in question and gently forced the G-Clamp closed until it lined up. Pretty much got it after the first attempt but went back two more times to make 100% sure. Fortunately there was no paintwork damage, cracking or bending so I removed the tape and voila!

Nicely done! I'd be fuming if it happened to my car as I don't have your repairing skills. :fighting:

Honestly @Shoduchi I didn't know what I was doing, I saw a bend in the metal in an easy place to get at and said why not give it a go! 20 mins work to achieve this result so I'm happy!

It's a long story, the car parked to my side opened their door and the bottom corner of their door hit the bottom corner of mine.
By the time I got back though it was a different car parked in it's place so there was nothing I could do!
