Fooking hell how did that happen?

You'd probly need a new bootlid/back bumper tbh not sure about the rest get some better pics up

Was in the school car park, some tool thought it would be funny to sneak up in his land rover defender behind me - I looked back nothing was there, but he had come around a corner and his tow bar just dinked into the back

I would prob get a new bootlid, get that front bumper popped out and can get the rear insert off ebay for £20.

The plastic part is roughly £30 from renault.

The boot will repair with about 4 hours labour and paint time + materials. It's only a half boot so you should dave money there.

Roughly 7hrs at £30 per hour. £50 paint met.

The quarter is 4-5 hour repair as it has taken the moulding in with it, the inner trim will need removed, you could actually do that one yourself and make it look a lot better. If you are painting the quarter then you will need to blend the door.

Roughly 10hrs + £100 paint met.

Bonnet about a 2-3 hrs repair.

6hrs + £60 paint met and that doesn't include blending the wings.

I'm an expensive assessor.

 

[Samwales]

ok cool! thanks, how much would a boot-lid be? surely it could be removed with that "paintless dent removal" technique as it is near an access point?

You would have had a riot with the car I wrote off.

 

[Gally]

Sam.

1. The paint is marked

2. It's badly dented

3. A paintless dent removal guy wouldn't touch that.

It's actually bent the frame of the tailgate.

The quarter one could be removed probably.

 

[Samwales]

Ouch I really didn't think it would be that costly

 

[Gally]

I know. You can get a cheap job done somewhere tho.

really, I may just do that you know, as long as it looks ok'ish im happy I think. where can I get a cheap repair? Thanks for the help by the way

 

[Gally]

You're welcome. Look in the local yellow pages or something and it should have little independent garages. The job will never be perfect but a lot cheaper than what I quoted.

Get paintless dent removal to quote you. Won't cost you anything.

Cheers! Is there an official renault parts site? Im having a bit of trouble finding it!

No you need to phone up your dealer what prices do you want?

Just price of new boot-lid really, and black back insert but you said that was £30 didn't you? are they easy to fit?

 

[Gally]

Yeah really easy.

Boot lid new will be over £150 plus all the glass fitting.

Phone the local scrap yard and get a price. You'll probably still have to paint it tho.

 

[AhmedRSi]

Scrap yard. Dealer will pwn you

 

[Samwales]

feck, would a cheap repair be < than the price of a new lid?

 

[Gally]

I think so.

 

[ipodsandguns]

I bet you you wait a bit you will locate a boot door in your colour for under 50 quid.

really? Is there ever any boot lids up in the for sale section on here?

[Samwales]

ahh, thanks are the boot lock and wiper motors hard to deal with?

 

[kevin.s]

not really, bit of a pain in the arse to get the wires to them as they are on the car and not the lid so need threading down the edge of the boot to them but if you can get some welding wire then push it through where the wire needs to go, tape the wire to the welding wire then pull it back though and apart from it getting caught here and there, it should make it easyer than trying to push it through.
also when fitting it, dont just tighten it up and slam it shut. do it slowly first to make sure its not catching anythin and all lines up nice with the other panels and the striker is catching properly.

If Birmingham is not too far for your to travel I know a guy who could repair and spray for less than £300
