D4 rear door skin is aluminium (no, it’s not)

Someone reversed into the D4's rear passenger door (again). It needs a new skin (again). Body shop says the reason for new skin is that the extent of damage (not a lot to my layman's eye) is beyond effective repair for an aluminium piece.

And there was I thinking that the D4 was an all-steel beast.

Pic? Whistle Whistle

I know the tailgate is Al due to magnetic GB plate not “sticking”, ISTR most of the rest is the same except the roof & D pillar. I think. Thumbs Up

I'm with DSL. I was led to believe the tailgate and bonnet were ally (due to lifting weight) and the rest was steel. Always happy to be proved wrong Smile

I remember taking a magnet with me in my early days of buying a car to check how much of the car was fibreglass and filler.

Isn't everything about D3/4's serious ?

maybe not … and echoing your inference, found this when looking for extinguisher advice - http://disco4.com/forum/scouse-humour-1728...sher#d3top
