easy repair?

Lol...Gosh - I think that’d be a difficult guess from a single photo. I’d say you wouldn’t want to repair that door but you might be able to salvage the front fender. Remember that the rocker that runs between that front fender through to the rear wheel (and houses the side vent) is plastic and cans be replaced for less than $300 (as I recall), so it’s probably not worth salvaging. Without knowing if the damage was only superficial, paint & all, maybe $5-7k (looks like you have to paint/blend the whole side). Not my specialty though so it may as well be the attached photo - best of luck! -Dom

Thanks, when I meant repair, I did mean replace parts or repair.
Do the front and rear wheels not look out of alignment too?, if they have had a knock what is the likely damage?
The driver seat side air bag also went off only.

You have an expensive sports car--that probably was very nice. Are you planning on fixing it yourself? Doing it as cheaply as possible? You could probably get all the body parts at a breaker, don't think I would, but. . .
You really need to take it to a first rate bodyshop--audition them by inspecting their work on other high end cars. You need a new door, all the undamaged hardware will need to be installed. You obviously need a fender. The bit under the door, etc. probably should be replaced as well. And airbag, too. You need to have the frame checked for tweeking and the front end closely inspected. You need absolutely the best paint technician you can find. Probably wouldn't hurt to have the wheels trued, too.
Not gonna be cheap, and your insurance rating will take a hit. Good luck, Dude! (That's Amurikan for "Mate.")

Depending on what it’s been through I would definitely recommend looking for any type of frame damage. The chassis on these cars are aluminum and the only way to repair any frame damage is with replacement. Check front strut mounts for any damage or fractures etc.
