Any one else had this problem? I mean is it part of ther bodywork warenty?

 

[Daz]

Dunno, but itll be because of bodyflex.. they almost nearly always do it..

Only ever seen it on aftermarket items though.. heh.

could have been stones kicked up from the tyre?

that dont look right, has it been pushed back (sill), looks like its had a whack

 

[ClioDude]

Bummer, yeah looks like its been pushed back by the wheel of something??

Maybe a curb??

 

[Little Newms]

Its strange is no further back than the other side and that one is fine (touch wood)

 

[182_blue]

trouble is these renaults are so delicate,on my 182 a stone came of my back wheel into the rear arch and creased the panel outwards !!!!, i managed to push it back to normal but the panels are so flimsy

I know!! You went so fast that the wind resistance forced the skirt back!!! Maybe.....

on one side of my car the whole of the paint on the end of the skirt in the wheelarch has chipped off. funily enough i only noticed it after it had been to renault! f**k knows waht they did! im guessing its a full skirt respray job for me.
