Post Accident - Seatbelt, Alloys & Airbags Where do I start?

[jasontart]

One son, two days after passing his test drives his Clio 1.2 Dynamique into a high kerb at 40 ish...luckily the only damage was his nerves, two burst tyres, two destroyed alloys and passenger seat airbag gone off...

Now, I figured a couple of hundred quid would put it right but Renault tell me new seat belts, tensioners, air bags, seats and wheels are about £1800 which was what he had saved up and paid for the car in the first place.

Is there an easier way??? Can you fix seats/seatbelts and airbags yourself or does it need to be done professionally and yes have trawled the scrap yards with no joy...

^that him? lol.

itd need to be done by renault/renault approved garage i think, airbags especially.

unless... u can track down new airbag units, and a whole new dash/steering wheel from somewhere, unlikely tho. have a gander on ebay for clios that are being broken.

certaintly wont be cheap, and if you dont really know what your doing i cant imagine you will save much money.

can he not claim on his insurance?

 

[-J-]

seat belts - Same in any Clio, Surely there must be some at a breakers even if diff spec car?
tensioners - Not 100% sure but again I would imagine the same in all clios
air bags, seats - Pick up a pair of Clio sport fronts fairly cheap used
and wheels Just get a full set for a few hundred quid off ebay

i had the same crash mate. i needed two new alloys new rear axle, new passenger seat and airbag comp. i brought all used parts except the airbag comp because that needs to be brand new to be programmed. Will be about £232 from renault.
you shouldnt need a seat belt? the seat normally comes with all the pretensioner, etc
cost me £400 all in, but then again i did the work myself and got discount.

EDIT - i used a company called 'just renaults' iirc, based in walsall but deleiver for about £25.

I would have though £1800 expensive. I'd advise going to a scrappy for wheels. The belt tensioners and airbag I'd probably buy from Renault just to be on the safe side, unless someone reliable has some spare on here.
