good luck

[BRUN]

as above, you can buy one for that kind of money, why repair it ?

hope everyone is ok

 

[Final Maxim]

most of thats labour, buy parts second hand, give your mechanic friend a drink for fitting it for you and you do it in much much much less than what renault quoted

 

[blink172]

Try Matt @ specialistrenaultbreakers.co.uk

Should be able to get most things for you. Good luck........

Is the person who crashed it OK? Thats some amount of damage, I wouldnt be keen on getting it fixed up tbh

 

[seb]

there is a stacked v6 on ebay for £300.. completely buggerede but i think it has some wheels in tact - unsure whether it is a mk1 or mk2 though...

sorry to hear it...

 

[Clart]

[_Kenny_]

[Matt16v]

especially without insurance

 

[mr sheep]

good luck with the re-build.

 

[connor]

16500 just for that?

thats a joke,

i rolled my car and it cost me 5k to repair.

 

[Da]

Jesus, what happened mate?? But seriously, you sure it wasnt £6500 for that rather than £16500? Seems way too much!

the rear bumpers & skirts are the VERY expensive bits - just ask James.

[Fred@BTM]

£1K per pannel on a Vee6

as above if the driver wasnt injured, get them to pay, then give him/her a slap!!!

 

[ChrisM]

Any parts for the V6 are expensive.

Renault thought of a number then multiplied it by 6 for spares. e.g. rear brake pads from renault £200 + vat, Front splitter/rubber bit £130 + vat! How I laughed.

They are probably more expensive than more exotic machines to repair once damaged.

Damn good fun though! If a little slippery in the snow.

 

[peterh2]

Umm I could think of a good plan if I was a car manufacturer. Make a mid engine short wheelbase rear wheel drive car, make it prone to a bit of oversteer then charge a fortune for parts so loads get written off and they sell loads more new ones to replace the written off ones!

 

[Chris1.4RT]

Is it not a police matter?

 

[KyleB]

his mate may have only had 3rd party insurance?

you know when u can drive another car if you are the main policy holder on one policy, but are only covered 3rd party?

 

[connor]

aye yoz....

but 16500 for...

FRONT AND REAR BUMPER COMPLETE

FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ORIGINAL AND TYRES

REAR PASSENGER SUSPENSION STRUT

seems a lil too steep if u ask me! (obviously taking into consideration u gotta pay for painting & fitting etc!)

 

[TheRoninV6]

front and rear bumpers are 297 + vat from renault and the suspension strut is £300 + vat, so the parts are not that expensive. When i hit a kerb a month or so ago it cost just under 2k to repair and the parts included

Front tyre, front bumber, front sub frame, some suspensions bits, arch liners.

I had it all done by a Renault Approved repair centre, so all parts and paint warrenty is still covered by renault.
