Door damage!! Recommendations?
Hey guys. Needs some suggestions and or recommendations. Yesterday while working on swapping out my stock shifter to the MGW flat stick, I slipped getting out of the car and instictively pushed the door out while bracing my fall. After I got up i saw the damage. On a side note the mgw is incredible! Huge upgrade over the stock shifte .

It's just a door edge, but it's also an SMC door edge, not metal.

Get it fixed.
First thing I did in our garage was put these up on the driver side door (which is against the garage wall.

Installed both parallel to the floor (as in a continuous row) at a point where the edge of the driver door will contact them when opened. That way way if I pull up further or not as far, the door will always contact one of the other.
Also put down these to keep the nose of the car from hitting the front wall. Just roll in and bump them to know where to stop.

Got mine in yellow.
