How old is the car, get trawlling the scrap yards too see if they have any matching doors and get one fitted.

Is the lock damaged in any way.

The later clios did not have a lock on the drivers door, so you may find a car without the lock in place, as they are just smoothed over. Im sure the locking would work as normal, and you have the passenger lock as everyone else.

If your up newcastle way i know a place in Sunderland that can paint a car door for about £60, they do all the renault work and put it in with another car from the dealers. You could get a nice new door from renault, get them too fit it, and the trim in the car.

I dont think its worth claiming if you can get the work down below £500. If you claim for just the door, is it worth it. If something was stolen then maybe i would consider it.

Ring about the scrap yards, i guess your car is a 02 from the lock in the door, then go from there..



Hope you get lucky..

And look at this car CLIO 1.6 16V DYNAMIQUE 03 REG - O/S REAR 1/4 / SUSPENSION DAMAGE under "Used Parts"

Would be perfect for the job, and they will post / deliver parts!

Simple!!!

Get that, and if the door trim is billabong or something, change the door panel.



Id collect if you could so you guarentee you get what you pay for and not damaged in transit.

Unlucky Spammy... little c***s.. Looks nasty. Doubt id go through the insurance if i were you.. Probably de-lock it, my 182 has no lock on the drivers side.. looks fine. Never noticed the other side was different until a mate pointed it out! If you wanted to check out local breakers, theres one in Normandy iirc.. Hope this helps, and good luck with the repair fella!

Thats so sh*t, having a car broken into is horrible. My first car had exactly the same thing done to it and they nicked my parcel shelf and speakers plus some tracksuit trousers.

People who do this sort of thing should be lined up and shot, hope it doesnt cost you too much t get fixed.

 

[Spammy]

Right! Just got back work to find many useful replies! Thank you very much!

Alias - Its a 2002, the lock was completely fecked, police took it... Nothing was stolen so ill pay myself i think

Dave - Have contacted them cheers

Shaun - I think ill either delock or get a new door, see how much each would cost! Never knew there was one in Normandy thats only 10 mins away! Thanks for the help!

MB - Agreed

Spammy... just to make myself clear..my car is totally original with the de-locked drivers door. Like Eugeall sugests, if you want to get as much as possible for ya car when you come sell it, youre better off getting the lock re-instated by means of repair or replacement door. Your call mate, what ever funds permit i guess!
