Been a bit quiet on this thread. Things have been ticking along in the back end. Car is currently at my friends having the front end sprayed. Turned out whoever previously sprayed the bonnet had bodged the living s**t out of it. I'll get some pics, but basically filling rusty holes with...

Sad isn't it.

London is an absolute nightmare these days. I refuse to go there anymore. Worked up there for a number of years, it really is a mess.

I've always had new cars really. Pretty much every year or 2. That is coming to an end now though. I am keeping cars a lot longer and am not really looking at anything new. Some of the used cars are absolute bargains in comparison to new ones that I don't even like. As said, modern cars suck ass.

Done it up with 30" breaker bar :ROFLMAO:

Spacer definitely in behind the disc... and the right way round....?

Car manufactures have lost their way imo. There’s barely a new or recent model I can think of from any manufacture that I’d actually want to buy. Seems to be the same for many from what discussions Ive had/have heard. Everything is bloated and looks pretty samey. Numb driving experience.

Renault the manufacture that will sell you a wishbone for one side of the car, but not the other. Have f**king bonnets in stock for a 20 year old hatchback 😅

Have spent a few quid on this thing ffs 😂

Primer. But when you consider a tidy second hand one is £150-£180 and the chances of finding a mint rb bonnet is slim. So I’m likely still spraying whatever I end up with Plus my mate who paints for me is over the moon as he hasn’t got to attempt to repair someone else’s enormous bodge job

£329 Not THAT bad

can’t believe this but, turns out Renault still make them/stock them. The parts person was as surprised as I was. So I’ve ordered a brand new one. Saves messing around.

Would be concerned they would be f*cked as well.... i'll take a look

Sent the clio in for paint today and the bonnet has been bodged by the previous painter with filler and fibreglass ffs. It's completely rotten through sadly. I need a replacement bonnet asap in Kent. Unsure if there's any good pattern parts?

What he said. I have mates that do mine. Whole front end is about 3-400£ to me so I'd say retail you're looking at 5-600+ for the bonnet and roof alone. Funnily enough mines going in tomorrow for the bonnet and bumper

Clean AF

Cheers

Mega cars!

Don’t you just love cut overs

That thread should have never been taken from us. I mourn daily
