Renault priceing for V6 parts.....EEEEKKK

[n0rm]

took my v6 in for some coils to be changed and while i was there i thought id get some park for a few things i want/need!!

v6 front bumper splitter = 286 quid!!!
v6 ph2/182 trophy boot spoiler = 311 quid!!

then i randomly asked for the prices of the front a rear bumpers!!

front v6 bumper = 3240 quid
rear v6 bumper = 1674 quid :S

i asked why Renault are taking the piss...his reply ''because Renault don't want clone v6's on the street!''

personally i think there a piss take tbh!

 

[Russ_16v]

lol now i understand why there are so many cat D v6's about, smack a bumper and write it off lol

 

[The Boosh!]

unlucky dude. Anyone would think they are spare parts for an enzo how much they cost.

 

[Nigel]

Thats what you get for owning a supercar.

 

[Pettsi]

Quite expensive.. Maybe they should up the price abit?

 

[n0rm]

knows.....at least the vee had a audience upon arrival

 

[paddyirishman]

They dont want any clone V6s on the street? What a pile of crap!!
If this is the case and you can prove to them that you have a V6 you should get the parts cheaper. Just a cheeky way of ripping the customer off me thinks!!

 

[n0rm]

^^ knowsit...........i just laughed at him mate

 

[Big Iain]

U took it to reno to change coils? didnt u own the most extreme clio on here?

 

[n0rm]

^^ i did, and yes reno had it for the day....1- i couldnt be arsed to work on it 2- it was pissing down with rain and i havent got a garage 3- i had a meeting within that area anyway so killed 2 birds with one stone

Hmm last time I heard a front bumper was about £1200 from them, that wasn't that long ago either, it was for a mk2 vee, so I suspect a mk1 front bumper would be around that.

As for coils lol @ the price they charge, get some from peugeot, the same thing but they are £27 each.

 

[Big Iain]

I can see your point if it was the rear 3 coils, fair enough! My dealer is cheaper for all those parts too!

 

[drhowser]

get some trophy coils, much better and they dont need replacing all the time.

They don't need replacing 'all the time' mines had them all done (before I got it) i've had it eighteen months so far with no probs

 

[Big Iain]

If u leave it sitting any length of time I reckon it f***s them

 

[cat171]

I drive it about 2 -3 times a week. When I do drive it I always make sure I don't just do short journeys.

500+ quid a vent! 400£ for the sill stickers. Over 200 for pads. Over 300 for disk! Daft.

 

[Fred@BTM]

that's nothing, we had to get a new front bumper for a Murci at work, £10K for the part on its own! LOL

 

[sideways danny]

check the prices of brake discs. and sit down first

 

[Fred@BTM]

£125 a pair for the fronts and rears, you just need to know the right people

 

[Poopensharten]

*your ability to show how economical you can be with the truth

 

[Josh@Renparts]

its probably how much it cost renault to have them made up, plus a bit on top, development of the bumper, and the cost of having a mould made for such a limited run. They probably aren't making a great deal on each.

 

[mace¬]

Don't lose any of the screws for the engine cover!!

Renault quoted something like £128 + vat each

 

[drhowser]

true, but there is definately an element or the 'renault lottery' with them
my mates had two sets in a year before he gave up and got the trophy set.

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

Gotta love Reno sometimes - look on the bright side. Was working on a friends S4 on tuesday, a set of front pds was £1600.

Yes it's not cheap replacing many of these v6 items. Even some of the less obvious parts cost a small fortune.

Side pods price

£550.34 inc VAT each

Then add painting of course.

Low volume supercars.:approve:

[Englebert]

Considering its a relatively rare car i would say that is pretty normal. Same with the CSL and NSX, feel your pain.

Then all it would take is a owner to keep poping in and buying a few new bumpers and theres a load of fake v6 about.

 

[Ronnie R]

bet they still rattle!
