Damaged body part

[RS133ETO]

Hi All,

I have damage to this part circled in red, is it possible to buy this part on its own from Renault? It seems to be seperated from the arch and rear bumper.

Or will it be cheaper to get it filled and resprayed?

Thanks

you sure can buy the arch trim. like all body trim it comes unpainted but ready for paint. painting the existing trim would be the only realistic option, although when you say damage that looks like the a small scuff on the lacquer coat from here

 

[RS133ETO]

Any idea on price? The black mark you see is a scuff, and there's a few more imperfections around that area. There's a slight scuff on the edge of the rear bumper too, can just about see it in the picture. It stands out like a sore thumb.

dependant on wether or not it's lacquer deep or base deep, that's what'll determine the price. if it's lacquer deep you can have that resprayed for peanuts 60-80. if it goes down to the base paint it will require masking the area, stripping, filling and then painting. this should cost you 100-150 is what to expect on quotes with the imperfections included. expect to part with your car for 48 hours

PM friedchicken he can tell you how much it was for him!

If you've got black marks then it will need some work sanding and refilling. I had to have mine resprayed before along with the larger arch panel. Cost me £120 roughly for both but will vary from place to place as one quote was £350. Mine isn't back to showroom condition though but isn't noticeable without closer inspection. The body shop had the car but let me have the car back minus the arches.

If you don't mind me asking how did you damage it?

Got a picture of the actual damage?

 

[RS133ETO]

Thanks for responses lads. It was already damaged when I bought it, but it's been bothering me a lot. Here's the pics of the damage, can just about see them under the light. The bumper is the worst, but all of it would need respraying.

That it? Jeez try hitting a house and see if that bugs you

Should think you'd need a bit if filler and sanding before painting to get it to how it should be. Don't take my word for it though as I don't work at a bodyshop.

It's not much, but it looks awful! Didn't you see the house??

Would it be best to replace the trim and spray it rather than repairing?

When I say house I mean bungalow, if I saw it I would have stopped before I hit it, long story short I didn't like myself for doing it.

Depends, see how much a local bodyshop would charge for the repair work and for spraying a new panel then get a price for a new panel and see what the cost difference would be. It comes down to personal choice at the end of the day though.

Cheers fella for your advice.

Smart repair ??? Most of the main dealers or auctions will have someone that touches up minor scuffs on their stock, so maybe you could get a recommendation of a good one.

Boom! Is that 90 euro for the 2 of them? Delivery to UK? And is it already painted?

Thanks

If you remove your current ones you will need a type of double sided sticky sponge (don't know technical name) from somewhere like halfords to put them on with. If you don't use this the panels won't sit flush with the bodywork and trap a lot of crud behind them.
