Quick Help - Repairing Damage

[JonnyClio]

As explained in another thread, I had a bump to my clio.

I am planning on selling it in a few weeks and replacing it with either an RB 182 or a Trophy... So obviously I need to decide whether to sell it as it is, with a scrape/dent in the front wing and a small scratch on the front bumper, or to repair it.

Approximately how much would a front wing (one of the horrible plastic ones) be to buy on a 1.2L Renault Clio Dynamique (2003)... and how much is a front bumper?

I know I could get about £1800 for the car without the damage, but with it I fear the value may fall a lot. Just need to weigh up my options and have a look at what will bring the most money to my pocket.

Any help/advice will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You could more than likely get them cheaper, was just a quick look.

Thanks

I'm not hugely clever when it comes to fitting bits to cars, is this something i'd need to take to a garage to get fitted?

Both parts are very easy to fit, bolts on parts.

They've got a small crack and are dented, I am happy enough to buy new wings.

EDIT: Bit of a side topic... but... Should I pay my insurance £707 to keep my no claims bonus? Need general opinions, bearing in mind that just for my renewal my premium would be £2400 with 0 yrs NCB or £1880 with 2 yrs NCB.

I would pay the £707 personally, im sure you will save more than £187 over the next 2 years renewing your insurance without having to disclose a claim within the last 3 years!

Don't go through insurance, in the long run you'll have spent a lot more

Get to your local breakers youll pick up a wing and bumper for next to nothing, and takes no time atall to fit

Try renparts...Josh and Kat might have the bits in and at least you know that they are fully aware of what you want/require if they have any in.

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

As above use Renparts if you want them pre painted, also bare in mind that wings arent very expensive brand new from renault, we can do a wing fully painted and dispatch to you (we will put nothing on the part price @trade), for the proper job you'll want the wing blending to the bonnet etc, but i wouldnt worry about it, pearl black isnt a problem colour.

A new genuine wing unpainted from renault for a 53 reg 1.2 is ~£53 inc VAT at trade (id need your plate to confirm), if its pearl black id be able to do a deal on spraying it.

I have a PB drivers side wing for a non-sport for sale.
