182 Bonnet Required ASAP

[Advikaz]

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?

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.

Pre-painted or just in primer?

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

Have spent a few quid on this thing ffs 😂

Euro sold an aftermarket one which wasn't too bad for about £200 at one point.

Contemplating getting one myself. Mine's mint but the Track car one's been hollowed out and weighs all of 3 grams now. I'll know better after Croft next week.

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 😅
