If it was a pre facelift they had less sound proofing so sounded/felt different.

Was it a pre facelift? Pre face lifts sound very tinny and light when they close. Post cars sound much more "like a golf!" .........er i mean bmw!
It's all down to the sound deadening

You jest, but the coupe's door window is bigger than the roadster's, so the coupe's door is in fact heavier

Cant believe some lowlife did that and left the scene! As for pdr ,... I dont think so ! No decent body shop would do anything to that other than a new skin, way more labour intensive to repair it and then you still have a door that is full of filler. Skin or s/h door, a bonus if you manage to find one in the right colour.good luck , hope you find the culprit.a reminder to be anal regarding defensive parking, a contentious issue I know but it saves this kind of hassle and frustration.

By 'defensive parking' I hope you don't mean taking 2 parks so no one can park either side? If so, you're right about it being contentious .mad4slalom wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 11:06 pm a reminder to be anal regarding defensive parking, a contentious issue I know but it saves this kind of hassle and frustration.
And OP, feel your pain having had other cars (not the Zed thankfully) hit in a car park and the culprit scarper. Not nice at all.
Hope you can get a replacement door fitted soon so you can put this behind you.

The PDR reference was for the door on eBay, not fixing the OP's.mad4slalom wrote: ↑Sat Jun 17, 2017 11:06 pm Cant believe some lowlife did that and left the scene! As for pdr ,... I dont think so !

Unless there's a crease in those dents, then I'd say a good body shop will get that back for you. Where do you live OP...I can recommend a couple of decent ones around the Essex/Herts area.

I just wish the coupe and roadster shared the same rear wings. Need to get mine replaced and finding coupe wings seems to harder to find than rocking horse poo!
