Search, it's been covered 3 billion times.
Anyway, it's free, if it's rusted they'll replace it, only way to find out if it's previously been done is to go to a Renault dealer and ask. Simple as that.
Love this wee car, never realised a vid had been made of it.
For those who haven't seen it before there's a thread for it: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?436728-Clio-III-Dynamique-1.2-TCE
Been in a crash, had bonnet replaced which hasn't been prepped/sealed properly/is a cheapo non-genuine part so as soon as it's stone chipped it's rusted to feck. Explains the other missing bits, missing bumper stickers and paint peeling off the wings. Shed.
What a mess. Being a painter I shudder to think what the finish is like on that up close, looks hellish in the pics as it is, I'd have left it alone I'm afraid.
Did you go up and over the kerb? Is the car quite low?
If so you may have just knocked the gear linkage out of position/bent it, I did this when I drove over something on the motorway in my old 172, destroyed the undertray while it was at it. Just a case of adjusting it back into position or...
It is possible she's creased the back panel/maybe even the boot floor without leaving any real marks on the outside, seen it happen on a few rear ended Clios.
My 1.2 did it with a badboy Peco backbox and no centre silencer, sounded pretty stupid on a slow car now I look back, I thought it was the dog's balls at 17 though.
Aye heard the flatspot mentioned a few times, another reason for doing it this way first, see if I can put up with it before investing in a full system! Does the Akrapovic suffer from the same thing?
As Sash already said, early Campus models looked like that, they ran from 55 plates to 56 plates, and this could well have been one which has been left unregistered. Does look a bit sheddy though, wonky splitter, peeling paint on the front, stupid tints etc.
Proper taste in car and mods there, like it a lot. Can't wait to get a bit of extra noise out of mine this weekend now (not spending over 1k on a system though:o)
I love this now, major improvement from how it looked on the first page, top work! Really deserves some black projector headlights to toughen up the front now.
