Damn I would be livid. I park my car away from everyone even if its farther for me to walk just to avoid door ding. I couldn't imagine seeing this.

Look at top most crease dent, paint cracked.

Well, in that case, good luck with that. Might as well replace the door if you are going to have to use paint.

PDR Will Not Leave that looking like new. Creases will still be noticeable. You need a new door, insurance claim. Best of luck

Sorry for the damage, but I would not replace the door. I have seen damage worse than that straightened.

Insurance will replace the door bc its cheaper than sitting there 20 hours fixing it. And if the impact bar is damaged then again, they HAVE to replace it.
