ok the below pics show u the damage.

what exactly happened was i cliped a fcuking island. and all i heard was pop. there has been no puncher, or bodywork damage.. it just looks like the alloy has been damaged, but that can be refurbed, i hope. (i dont know about the steering or alignment, suspension yet.

my insurance has got in touch with renault city and they are gona pic up my car and sort it... i hope. i will get a courtesy car today too, i hope.

the problem i have is the AIRBAG, it blew when i hit my alloy.

i contacted ilford renault dealer and they said it will cost me at least £800, to fix my seat or they said i might need to replace the seat...

bloody 400 excess.. :(

OK - i can sell you a seat airbag for £50 + vat, they bolt in. Get your seat re-stitched at an upholsterers ( £40 ish ) then you will need to replace your seat belt pretensioner ( holster ) you will find which ever one was plugged in at the time will have exploded and pulled downwards - £77.20 from renault. Then you will also need to replace your airbag computer which can vary from £80 - £230 depending on your oval plate number ( parts id code ) then once this has been done it will have to go on a "clip" renault diagnostic computer to have the airbag light knocked off. As for the alloy you will be able to source a single on somewere im sure

Unlucky mate. How exactly did you clip a traffic island?



well, i was turning into a road, and i was approaching the island, which had a small gap, and i didnt make it. its the worst place to have an island, anyway alloys hit the corner of the island curb, and my air bag popped...

Thats what you get for having a car with a high NCAP safety rating!

It seems a little eager to have triggered the airbag at what must have been a slow(ish) speed?

Hope you get it sorted m8 - such a shame that happened to a decent looking alloy too...

Thats a hell of a clip! You must have been cornering pretty fast or it was a massive edge.

Think youll have to cough up the excess .. its annoying that the airbag went off, but it sounds horribly expensive to fix.

:eek: Ouch! Sorry to see your car like that pal, hope your wheel gets fixed up okay. As for the seat surely a pair of sport/bucket seats must be the way to go?

There is still a flat spot on that wheel. wouldnt bother going through insurance just spend xs on fixing it. As its a fault claim they will screw you next year more than you will have to folk out.

Did the airbag do anymore than put a massive bruise on the back of your arm? I think there should be an option to switch airbags off personally.
