Hmmm,looking at it looks like when you took the sticker/badge off,it looks like it's taken the paint off with it

I reckon it might need spraying again buddy

Yea i tried taking bumpstrips off and the same happened to me,the paint was a different colour underneath lol

I wouldn't be sure how much it would cost mate but what he'd do is try and blend that bit of panel to match rest of car,he'd probs spray the top part of the door I had mine done a few months ago and he charged me about 50-£60

Hope this helps mate

By the looks of that, the door has had paint, you can see where it's been masked around the bump strip.

I would guess you'll get it for £100 although you could probably get a pair of doors for half that and throw them on, and have doors to sell. That's what I would be doing.

try using a little bit of petrol on a cloth nd rub that over to clean it matey, then a bit of t-cut. it might blend it in abit and not make it as obvious.

is this a breeze by any chance mine done it on my arden blue breeze on the passenger door though havnt sorted it yet might be worth just buying another door or 2 if you can find decant condition doors would be cheaper than getting them sprayed

I wouldn't even try and paint it. By the time you've spent 20 quid on paint and sand paper, you may as well have bought doors.
