Hi all, when my bumper was taken off to refit the foglight surround, it was replaced slightly out of alignment (couple of milimetres, above the tyre). Seems like bumper just needs taking off and refitting properly. Could prob do it myself but at risk of mucking it up I'd rather let reno do it. Anyone have any idea as to what it might cost? No other repairs to the bumper needed
 
local body shop would probably be better mate, they will charge u an hours labour and it will be a lot cheaper than renaults hourly rate
 
I'd try it yourself first mate, its like 3-5 bolts on top and a few in the arches? Shouldnt take long just to have a play

Have a play and if you can't then a body shop stay away from the dealer costs
 
Cheers for the advice, gonna have a go myself but if all else fails the local bodyshop will do it for only 30 quid, far cheaper than Renault

Good move, as I said before it's fairly easy to get the bumper on/off so you may end up saving yourself the £30 quid :)
 
JE - removing my bumber tomorrow, looks like 5 on the slam panel, and about 2/3 on each wheel arch, is that all there is to it or will i end up ripping something off lol
 
It's about 4 in the engine bay, 4 or 5 underneath the car and 2 in each wheelarch.

Then add some force to pull the nose off, but don't forget to disconnect the foglights before the nose comes off.
 
What MS said, under the bumper, on top of the bumper and in the arches, I took my headlights out too to make it a bit easier and disconnect the fogs, doesnt take long though :)
