Where in the South West are you? Can recommend a bodyshop, for a bonnet just buy one second hand off eBay is your best bet really as decent new ones won't be cheap

Renault charge 160 for a new genuine bonnet. Cant remember if that is with VAT.

Do you have a link or should I just phone them up?

@Rorymango What's the matter with yours? I have one here in Somerset @ £30. Has some small dints from being pushed shut but nothing a body shop wouldn't be able to quickly sort when prepping for paint.

You cant really get the dents out near the front as there is support bars behind

Here is the cost and part number - personally would go for the platinum one in my link above.

Thanks for the help so far! Toying with the idea of carbon bonnet as well hmm.. How come you think the platinum one would be best?
