So...
some knob decided to ruin my morning today by T-Boning my car parked outside last night and running off scat free.

I've got a fair dent on the passenger and driver side now which gives the car a little too much curve for my liking. Mates suggested best way is to replace the door in it's entirety since Magna's are awesomely easy to find parts. Called up Enzo and found them bits for the car for $200 (both).

Now, any one has a walkthrough on how to replace the doors for a Magna TE? :happy:

Front door.
Remove rubber grommet to access door loom from inside the car
Pull door loom from chassis and unplug
Unbolt the metal bar between the door and the chassis
From inside the car, remove the bolts bolting the door to the chassis
Withdraw the door from the car

Rear door.
Remove rubber grommet to access door loom from inside the car
Pull door loom from chassis and unplug
Unbolt the metal bar between the door and the chassis
With the front door open, from outside the car, unbolt the bolts attaching the door to the chassis
Withdraw the door from the car

Reverse steps to re-install.

If the damage extends across the "B" pillar that may be bent as well. New doors won't fit properly as a result.

Since it's not a power window, i don't assume much re-wiring involved (Standard speakers and central locking).
Damage is not on the B-pillar, rather just below the door knob, on the middle partitioning between the passenger and drivers door.

plug out, plug in as long as you are swapping the whole door assembly.
