It now needs a FULL respray it's that pearlescent red/orange you get on the Extremes and Clio 182 cup

Her boss thinks its just going to be a Bumper and respray job but Renault said they have to spray the whole car as it's 3 coat pearlescent and it wont match


He's paying for all the work though will get pics of said damage

Ah he's not that bad, hes a sound guy, there isnt much room where they park and he was driving a Land rover at the time so it was bound to hapen some time... Just happened to be the most expensive car to repaint in the Car Park

there was a banged up Citroen Saxo Corsa B and another Clio parked along side but they would have just been new bumper

yeah seemingly Renault said that it's really hard to match the paint when replacing panels/bumpers and you have to respray it.. you've seen it it's the Clio we were in when i dropped the steamer of too you.. it's kinda red then flicks to orange

i'm not giving a toss this is the second car to be damaged at mums work and this time this ones gettin repaired...


my mum took my dads mondeo down a gatepost and left a 7 inch scratch down the Driver side rear Door

She's being ripped off, if you go to an expert in pearlescent/flip/metal flake paints they can touch up pannels.

They took it to one company that knew how to do all that and they recommended takign it to Renault as the paint is hard to get and match

it really is a wierd paint.. either way WE are not being ripped off it's my mums Boss thats paying Renault just gave us a rough price to sort the damage!
