There are several options you can consider. One is to see if there is a vendor in your area that repairs vinyl and leather products - perhaps check with a car dealership and see who they use. We had one around here called Dr. Vinyl and when they did a repair job, you could not tell there was ever an imperfection in the area.
Another option would be to have the door recovered in leather - much more expensive but looks great when done. If you're interested in something like that, talk to Dennis at Double D Mods.

Some of you guys are way too ****. 
The repair job looks like a repair job because the repaired spots aren't as shiny as the OEM area. If you can somehow shine it up (ArmorAll maybe?) it'd be almost indistinguishable.

I repaired a small hole (~1/8") in one of the interior doors of our house recently. I probably spent 1/2 hour after filling/drying to match the (fake) grain through that tiny invisible top corner of the door repair area.
Same goes for the car door repair. You can Armor-All it all you want, but where's da grain? OK, I'm a bit ****. And being in Canada with the associated costs of bringing stuff here, well, I would potentially end up doing the same myself. LOL

Are you referring to me!? Oh, OK, you're right.
