I wanna get it fixed but not sure if I even can, and can't seem the right colour door on eBay or anywhere to replace it...

It's not exactly a small dent and there's a few of them, including the lock it's buggered (I think anyway, ain't tried to use it)

Does anyone know how much it should cost to get sorted, if it's possible that is? Just so I know how much I should be quoted before I go

that looks like an attempted break in where the rumours were you can still stick a screwdriver into a punto lock and it'll open

There wrong

They'll just punch it through the door (the lock) or dent it

Its probably gonna be easier to get another door - strip it down, and respray'd in the correct colour

As for the lock - you can get some lock smiths who'll repair / rebuild / make another one work for you

failing that - Fiat can provide a new lock set if you still have the mechanical key code card

Ok thanks :) the guy I bought it from said he reversed into it with his van, prob chatting out his arse then. I'll have a look to see if I've got that but I never use the locks anyway. Money money money either way!
 
Take the door card off - there is probably reasonable access as its around the lock/handle. You might be able to push it out.
Doesn't look like paint is broken, so if you can push out from the inside, you can probably get it looking reasonable.
