Bonnet damage

[lunchboxbill]

Bought a valver bonnet recently and it was slightly damaged in the post, tried to touch it up and it is better than it was - will do for now - but wondering how much to get it porfessionally done?

Whole respray is about £100 - £150 I would think.

Cost me 150 quid to have me valver bonnet sprayed, top notch finish tho.

just wondering how the paint chipped there even if damaged in post...looks more like vent has been grafted on and the seal is cracking apart....like a stick on vent.

Sure its a proper, official Renault bonnet? Cus the Valver bonnets are one piece - including the vent I believe.

agreed! which would mean its not a valver bonnet!

you sure it was damaged in the post, as a stuck on vent would crack with time anyway?????

I thought bonnets and vents had to be purchased seperatly from renault?

NE way, I think the vent has been grafted on as underneath the bonnet looks the same as my old one. I know eventually the vent would crack but this was paint that had chipped away down to the bare metal, dont know how it happenned.

so ok then, its not a valver bonnet - bought it looks a bit like one!

By Vent, we mean Buldge.. Hehe. The Vent is seperate - just we (Well, I, anyway) class the whole buldge as the Vent too..
