Holy!! you have a bad look well.. u need to cut out the airbag bolts (3 if i remember good) if you disconnect the airbag & NOT pass the switch of the car you don't have the SRS light on.. but if the airbag are disconnected & you put your key on & switching for the firts position instantly store a fault code in the SRS system.. is not very hard to replace them.. remove the 2 13mm bolts by the visagres Y push them up (you need to put of all the wiring harnes & vaccum line before unmount them..
If you can remove the 11mm bolt down the rear right seat (little cap in the carpet) you disconnect the battery & made ur job more safe)
I'm pretty sure you need a pillar repair to fit the new door.. maybe you cant see any damage in the pillar but your door cant close good i'm sure you need to push them a little outside
Hope that help

the new door came with an airbag and harness etc.. i just dont want to mess up the srs etc.
the only reason why im asking because i dont want to drive the car the way it is to take it to my uncles shop which is about 1hr or so and get pulled over with my brothers dealer plates and get tickets due to the mirror and glass.
