so im sick of looking at the dents and ripples in my doors on my clubbie, couple of questions on what i should do-

1) get a panel beater to straighten them up from behind the doors
2) find a good set of 2nd hand doors and respray to match my colour
3) get new skins put on my existing doors

the dents in my doors are both just under the handles on both sides, just so happens they are about the size of someones knee (guess how the previous owner shut his doors). Dont really wanna spend too much as its just my daily. Opinions would be appreciated :)

For something minor like that, get one of those call-out "paintless" dent doctor guys. Lots of car yards use them for similar things, and they're fairly cheap. Yellow Pages time?

I've used one of those dent remover guys before, he did a good job.

Make sure you get a guy that knows what he is doing, they usually have metal rods that they use from behind the panel and try and pry the dent out gradually.

Beware of anyone who brings out something like this:
