I have bent the top back in by hand and its close enough. The bottom is bent outwards a little (enough to put the boot open light on) so the bottom left corner needs bending back in about 1-2". Ideas about the best why to achieve this? Thanks Allan.
Depends on how cosmetically good you want the result to be but I'd use brute force. I'd possibly find a wall and with some 4x4 timber against the wall and a bit of lever work then reverse into the wall.

It's tricky cos it is easy to make it a whole lot worse but I have done it to doors and tailgates; never quite the same though afterwards.

Yeah it all depends on the angles and forces but the question was really would I do it yes - cos the alternative is a replacement door and if one is in the habit of dropping into awkward places I'd hate to repeat the same damage on a new door.Lambert wrote: Bit more involved than just reversing into a wall.
