Also remember if you replace the whole door, you will be losing the vin # id tag, which to be "back to original" is not something you can replace, at least not very easily.
skin the door, replace the badge and remount the cladding.
Chances of saving the vin tag and looking correct are slim. Once you skin the door, and seam seal, sand and prep for painting/jamming out which means paint over or around vin tag. You can tape it up but you will always be able to tell it has been painted.
