You say it broke whilst trying to take it off? so you didn't want one on anyway? Unless you decide to put it back on sometime.

hahahaha Dealers are soo expensive..
I know this isn't Clio related, but my mate has a nova (with speedlines).. none of the wheels had center caps.. he rang vauxhall or speedline or whatever and they quoted him £35.. EACH!
the sucker paid it as well.. he's so dumb

The Xsara VTS i owned for around 6 weeks had corroded wheel nuts, went to the citroen dealer for a price on replacement wheel nuts (and they weren't locking ones) £5.65 + VAT each!! RIP OFF.

When you consider inflation these days, I wouldn't say £15 for a badge is exactly breaking the bank, infact as Renault prices go I would say that's quite good. It seems some people really do expect some things for virtually nothing these days.

It is just a badge though. And £15 for a piece of plastic with chrome paint???
Foz, eBay is your best bet, or goto a breakers yard, I doubt they'd charge you more than a couple of quid if anything.

Each to their own I suppose. I just personally think £15 from Renault for a new badge isn't bad considering todays prices. I know it may only be plastic but when you consider it, £15 really isn't loads of money these days. I paid £36 for a new hazard switch to be fitted. I got out of there really quickly as I expected them to charge me at least an hours labour + parts, (being as they don't normally charge less than an hour). So, I think I got a bargain, and I definitely wouldn't be complaining about £15 for a badge.
it may be the norm, but so are tax rises and inflated costs... doesn't make it any less of a rip off, it's money in Reno's pocket at the end of the day and I bet if we actually saw the manufacturing cost we'd not be too happy... £310 for a f**king PAS line... still in shock, I had to shower afterwards I felt that violated...

Oh I agree, production costs will no doubt be far less than they are marketed for, but business is business and if they can sell parts at their sometimes outrageous prices they will! Look at it this way though, people pay far more for a darn plain white t-shirt with a logo on it that you could probably make cheaper yourself. Why? Because it has the logo on it they like and they can't be arsed to do it themselves.
It's an offical Renault badge we are talking about here. Yes, you may well be able to get a non Renault badge for far less, but you then run the risk of it not fitting as well as it should, it may well be slightly bowed and not lie flat. I'd rather pay Renault the £15 knowing that it should fit perfectly and be able to take the darn thing back if it doesn't, rather than putting up with an inferior one that may not do the job as well. It's all down to personal preference though I guess.

Well yes we do pay loads more for most things in this country, but if you own a car , high spare parts prices is something we can't really get away from. You can indeed buy non Renault parts, but you will not always get the best quality. It is a sad fact that you get what you pay for these days, and for the sake of a few extra £'s I would rather get an original part that looks the part and hopefully shouldn't fall to pieces within a few weeks. It's like I said though, it's down to personanl preference.

:lolup: Sorry.. Had to laugh.
sounds like you have also used GSF in the past like me... lol, completely agree, still doesn't make it right though is all I'm saying...

It's ok. That's why I said shouldn't instead of won't as we all know what Renault build quality is like.

I had to get a new PAS pipe as well as the other one was corroded. £180 for the part and the final bill including another wee job and labour was over £460. Severely fucked off
