I need to get cambelt done on it though asap.
Anyone recommend how I get it done etc. SHould I go to a Renault dealer?

 

[Needster]

Hutchie can do it for you, PM him

Nice purchase though, that's not the Cat D one that was for sale in York was it? Same colour/wheels.

 

[Fletcher]

Nice cup.

I hope not tbh. Its not from York though so shouldnt be.

Does Hutchie do them?

 

[Tyssen]

Worth the trip over to Birchdown?

Not sure, few have mentioned it but its a long trip to get it done tbh

 

[Needster]

He (Hutchie) works for a Renault specialist. I'd ask him how much it'd be as he's probably closer than the Kev's and NW Performance, etc. which would save your petrol.

 

[swordjo]

Nice, but I would say that. It been in a bump?

 

[Tyssen]

Nice, but I would say that. It been in a bump?

Not that I know of why?
Would it show up on a HPI check??

 

[alex-avfc]

"It's a cat C write off because it hasn't got those stickers on the bumper"

Hmmkay. Nice purchase, must feel like a great upgrade!

 

[jenic]

Looks nice that

 

[Jordi17]

nice one, looks very tidy.

 

[swordjo]

The stickers don't just fall off, it might just have a respray for stone chips, but the missing stickers and splitter are a give away. The stickers were never put back on mine when I got a new bumper after SWMBO decided to rip it off on a kerb!

It wouldn't show up on HPI unless it was repaired though an insurance claim.

 

[YorkshireDaz]

Congrats, You might be able to keep up now...

Sorry to ask, but i've just got a 172 cup and there isn't any stickers on the front bumper. Should there be any???

What stickers??
Well nothing stuck out as being out of the ordinary when I bought it apart from the splitter.

 

[swordjo]

There should be black stickers where i've circled. They usually aren't put on after the bumper has been sprayed (well mine weren't), but as you still have your washer blanks it could just have been a genuine touch up to the paint.

 

[mark_sport172]

What do the stickers say???

 

[@Spoonie]

Wouldn't the holes for the splitter also be missing? (If a new bumper) Might be worth checking.

 

[swordjo]

They don't say anything, they are just black stickers.

 

[Guppy]

Nice motor regardless if it's had the bumper sprayed due to stone chip's etc

 

[Rasclart]

LOL I love CS. It is missing stickers must be a Cat C PMSL. The reg check shows it is not. The chances of someone repairing a Cat c out there pocket is highly unlikely. If it was cheap you would notice it as well.

It is a 6 year old cheap hatch (no offence Laura!) most people do not wrap them in cotton wool and polish them every day and worry about missing stickers. They could have been removed, bumper resprayed for chips.

 

[Tyssen]

ah right ok.
also - daft question but I needed to fill my water earlier and couldnt find where I had to put it. I know I must sound like a right girl but even got my step dad to look and he couldnt see it.
