Looks good value, anyone think those doors could be made presentable by a Paintless Dent Removal expert?

Is this definitely Tahiti blue?If so very rare indeed,only 3-4 left in that colour I understand.I thought Tahiti only made it onto the very early cars,this is 2003.

Tahiti Blue was dropped in 2000 so it must be Royal Blue (metallic) or Midnight Blue (solid). Difficult to tell the finish from the pictures.

Looks like royal blue to me. Tahiti is a shade lighter.

Quite local to me. The guy normally has a few cars around £500. Never bought off him but they always seem decent value

I reckon those dents will need a proper bodyshop - not cheap. If you can change the door, inside panels and lock/receiver, it might be cheaper to source 2 good, replacement doors. The gold CDT tourer, currently bid at £255, with clutch cylinder problems (I know that's a helluva job) could be nice. Did anybody on here buy the sky blue CDTi tourer at £999? Now that looks REALLY nice! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/54-REG-Ro....c100005.m1851
