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.MY91 110 CSW, so long ago I can barely remember it - sold

Pic?
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.

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

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.Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto
