HELP 172 mk1 silver door trays

[mattyevz2002]

hi does anyone know where i could get the 172 mk1 silver door trays the ones which hold the buttons and window control from.Someone said in a previous topic that they were part number R77 01 206 594 AND COST £11.60 +vat at the renault dealers for the pair, well i went there and quoted the number and told them what i wanted and they said it would cost £62 + vat for both as they only sell them as the whole unit and will not sell just the silver plastic well i thought what a f*ckin rip off as i just wanted the silver plasticnot the whole thing buttons electic etc.Has anyone bought just the silver parts from them or any ideas where i could get them? please help thanks

Yeah i bought just that part and there wasnt a problem at all, £12 iirc

 

[mattyevz2002]

It means If I Remember Correctly. Yep, I think most Renault dealers suck tbh.

how easy are these to fit??? do u have to remove the door cards to fit them or can u do it with the door cards left on???

 

[Djw John]

Very easy, undo the small torx bolt that holds them in, lift them up, disconnect the wiring plugs and take the switches out and transfer them over and connect everything back up again. Very straightforward.

 

[ian172]

so u can leave the door card on yeah?

 

[Djw John]

Yep

 

[marvel]

every dealer i ring quoets the above part as 65 pounds and no one seems to know the part code for the tray without the switches. Please help i am really getting frustrated.

 

[Djw John]

R7701206594 is what teh part number, just order that, it is possible!

ok, ill try a few more dealers but so far letchworth and milton keynes both said 60 odd quid.

What dealers have people got these from for the lower price?
I can then use this to tell the next dealer i ring up.

 

[Djw John]

At the time it was Renault Livingston now its Reg (f**king) Vardy, new name same t**sers

 

[marvel]

have called 6 different dealers and all say 62 quid. i dont know what to do.
Maybe the pricing has changed since you lot who have them got it.
If anyone finds out a dealer near them, who is doing it for that price i would happily pay them to buy it and post it to me with a little on top for themselves.

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

Thatpics looks good, nice job. Problem with mine is that the top layer has chipped away so if i was to re-spray it i would still have lots of indentations everywhere

The rest of my car is in a pretty much spotless condition. The door trays are the only thing that dont make them look any good. If i were to get some new ones the interior will look cracking.

[makavelli]

will the mk2 phase 1 ones fit on the phase 2 clios or are they different shapes???

 

[mattyevz2002]

they are different sized plugs already tried that lol.

 

[Djw John]

Sorry, didnt manage to get along to it. Will see if there open tommorrow, will dig out there number.

 

[marvel]

any luck m8?

 

[Djw John]

Aw sh*t, completly forgot, setting reminder now! Will call them at 9 tommorrow, when my phone tells me too!

 

[Djw John]

Just called them and they are now £65 plus vat as well. Cant believe that, they wont have been selling it at a loss when I bought it for £12 so think of the huge huge profit being made on that, bloody renault

 

[marvel]

gonna have to get them second hand if i can.

 

[ian172]

This is because all the Mk1 172 interiors are starting to age and therefore will need replacing around now. They have us right by the short and curlies.

[Djw John]

Wonder if Jeremy Townsend could explain why the rise?

 

[Andyman]

surley a decent spray shop will be able to fill the holes in and smooth them down ??

Id just cough up the 60 odd quid...bet its nearly cost you that much in phone bills trying to find them lol

i put up in another thread about trying to get the centre bit where the heater vents are off so i could get the whole silver trim parts resprayed matched up and colour coded.

Turns out its a full dash out job so i just left it in place and took the door grabs to a spray place and got them to just colour code the tray grabs to the same colour as the centre trim. They spent a while matching up colour charts and it turns out the nearest colour to the original silver items is a Chrysler one !! ...... did a great job and youd never be able to tell theyve been sprayed up. !! all for 20 notes too !!
