My first Clio (with problems)



C

As I’m new to ClioSport.net I Just thought I would share my first ever Clio it's a RS Clio Trophy No:390/500

Picked it up last Wednesday from Renault after a two week wait and I am absolutely made up with it, but.......... there is always a but......

Problems:(

Me
The only downside is that its been sat on the drive all week and hasn't been driven due to me having a operation on my knee the day before it was picked up by my dad, so I am itching to drive it next Tuesday when I see the doc. (I Hope)

The Car[font=&quot]
After me cleaning it I noticed two dents in the bonnet where some monkey has pushed it down two close it. Phoned Renault and their fixing next Friday.

So here it is

Yeah my bonnet seems to have dented where it has been pushed down too hard. The metal must be paper thin at that point to save weight. It seems to be at the crease of the bonnet in the middle.

Looking absolutely spot on :)

Where I have to open the bonnet reasonably frequently on the Vee (it being the "boot" where I keep a booster seat for my kids), I'm paranoid about pushing too hard when shutting it. It really shouldn't be that easy to damage your car ... but unfortunately it seems it is :(

Beautiful car mate enjoy it

Always drop the bonnet shut from 6 inches or so up that way no pressure is ever exerted on the panel
