This is the bonnet mate! And where abouts is 'Shoe'? Don't think I've been there before! :P

It is mental. I thought shops/bodywork people would just be able to repair the area, not have to do the whole bumper. Even if it isn't 100% perfect, you know?

£420 was ChipsAway! Managed to get it down to £330 inc. vat! They've all said; 'Silver is the hardest colour. It'll look out of place so we may need to blend the bumper etc etc which will cost more'

Mental! Has all the work been done now? Lowest quote to have the whole bonnet resprayed (as all companies are saying that's what will have to happen) is £420 + VAT!

Jesus! That's a whole loada dollar! I've got a list as long as my arm of mechanical repairs needing doing already.. went to put some screenwash in this morning and noticed that little gem!

Will do brother! Cheers for the advice! I'll keep you updated on the damage.

Fair enough mate! Don't know of any in the area but I'm sure Google is my friend here.

What would you recommend then mate? Reckon a company like ChipsAway could do something like this? Either that or buy a bonnet off someone breaking a Nimbus 197?

Not that I know of mate! A whole bonnet job is big big dollar isn't it? I've never had anything sprayed to be honest!

Went to put some screenwash in the car this morning and noticed this chip. It's a little bit smaller than a 5 pence piece I'd say. Would someone like ChipsAway or whatever they're called be able to repair this? Needing it done ASAP before it all flakes away!

Check the condition of the flexis - ball ache as soon as they go!

That's fair enough mate. Each to their own after all. I saw a little Clio billabong (1.2) the other day.. had absolutely nothing done to it whatsoever barring the 2.0 door bullets.. :l Wasn't sure if it was deliberate or they'd gone down a breakers yard because their door strips got stolen.. Haha.

@Renault Wolverhampton

Looks really nice Luke! Good job! I'd definitely remove the Renault Sport badge from the back though, just personal opinion.

Looking to get something together soon - any recommendations people would like to share?

Early 2007 models mate, all a bit hit and miss. Some people had problems, some didn't. Mine is 2007 and it's solid. The bad points to a 197; Gearboxes Flexis Bumper off to change a headlight bulb Can't swing a tampon in the engine bay

As above, temp sensor should cure it mate. Let us know how you get on.

Welcome to the forum mate! That's correct, pop it in to Paypal and your pack will be with you within the next couple of weeks!

Yeah mate! Only another 18 years and then my plate will be available for me to buy! :p

My plate was apparently registered in 2033.. :l

Hi John, welcome to Cliosport! Tidy car mate! Not a fan of the F1 sticker on the bonnet but barring that it's very nice!

Fair mate. If you want more of a 'toy', then get a 1*2. I'm not quite sure what is quickest as standard top speed wise. The 1*2 would be quicker on acceleration as it is half the weight.

Depends. 172/182 are more of a go-kart feel to the 197. The top speeds (standard) are almost bang on each other, due to power/weight ratio. The 197 is more 'grown up' if you like. Packs a lot of power but is all round a lot more comfortable.

Didn't know this existed. Could be cool!

Ah, I thought they would have agreed a value over the phone tbh unless they plan on sending an independent 'valuator' to see it. Might just have to do what @Addicted suggested and use the cool down period (14 days) to cancel if they give you some pony quote/price.

Can't work out what this is though? Some aid to helping you pull yourself in to the car?

Never been a fan of the MK4 Clio front end to be honest. It all looks a bit too much. The touch screen is a nice addition with the MK4's though, however I'm not sure if it was just a one off but the touch screen inside the hire car I used while Renault were fixing mine seemed awfully buggy.

Surely, and rightly so, they don't agree to the value because of the labour and especially effort put in to it? Every road user, regardless of modifications, has put in their time and effort with their car and unfortunately spent far too much money on labour. I hope you get it sorted however.

Ah - I thought this would be the case, just wanted to double check if anyone knew of a quicker way! Cheers mate

Hi, Our accounts guy at work is doing daily analysis on reasons we have had to issue refunds. He only started this Monday last week and has done a pivot table every day, the reasons why the refund was issued (generic set through Magento) His boss has now asked him he wants a full count for...
