As per title; any ideas how to fit the bonnet stay from my old bonnet onto my new one that's on the car?
It's rivited in to the old bonnet, so presume it must be drilled out. Do I then just simply get hold of a pop riveter and attach it to the new bonnet?
Forgot to do it when I fitted the new...
used an old wheel brush i had laying around, a tonne of jiffy cloths and whatever all purpose cleaner sainsburys had that i could lay my hands on quickest...it wasnt the cheapest value s**t, but wasnt the most expensive either, so i diluted it about 1:2 in a spray bottle then sprayed the whole...

Have got some Kumho KH17's on the front, not overly impressed with them to be honest! You can really feel the sidewall moving about, and even when inflated to correct pressure it looks flat....sidewalls could do with some more reinforcement.
Cheers Stevo.C, gonna phone up a few garages and see...

Clio's rears need changing. Wippie! Can't find a definitive answer, or a certain answer, or whatever, but have been looking at the following:

Hi guys n gals
Decided to sort out my car for winter. Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class Car Shampoo, polished with AutoGlym's Super Resin Polish & sealed with AG's Extra Gloss Protection. Couldn't find my damn applicator pad so did it with an old cotton t-shirt that I took a pair of scissors to...
have tested it all out on the ramps and both me and mechanic are happy that it's securely in place...his clio bonnet has flown up on him so he knows what he's looking for now! so have been there done that, many thanks for the advice though Steve! :grinning: Can imagine many people wouldn't think...
Done it! :smile: Not quite sure how though hahaha, but we managed to pop it up and fix it on straight 🙈
When we pull the lever, it doesn't pop up straight away you have to lift it a little and it'll pop up; we decided to leave it like that rather than try and fiddle with it more!
Cheers...

I found a bonnet on eBay about 6 months ago, but let it go because I didn't have the money at the time. Today, I got a response on eBay saying that they still have the bonnet in stock so I phoned them up and went and ordered it to be delivered to me! He said he's been breaking Renaults for 40...
just went to 9 different shops, yes 9 DIFFERENT SHOPS to find a new sodding plunger....tesco, morrisons, asda, sainsburys, local hardware shops, ended up in homebase to finally get one!!! :rage:
so ive rubbed spit on it, water, everything i can think of.....no results. I think it's too far gone...
hmmm interesting....all of the guys I saw said that it would have to be a respray jobbie. I'll have a look a bit further afield I think, get some more quotes from others
