Ouch!! I feel for you. I've self inflicted injuries like that on various cars and trucks of mine over the years also. You can probably pick up a door panel or even a complete door from a salvage yard for a reasonable price. Try Audiconnection.com in Sufflok Virginia. I, and a number of other people on the Audifans lists have ordered used parts from them and have been satisfied with their prices and service. How much damage was done to the frame where the door is mounted? If that mounting points or frame is torn or twisted then you might run into a fair amount of labor to get that fixed.

I guess from now on you'll bring wheel chocks with you whenever you step out of the car..:-)
