The bonnet was really starting to bug me on this so recently go back in touch with Renault Uk about the matter. After an initial phone call and call at my local Renault Bodyshop all was sorted fresh carbon
Hope you don't mind me asking but was it sorted FOC? My bonnet is a little tired but not sure where I stand as it wasn't bought with a whole R so to speak.
I was offered a 60 % contribution towards the cost but with what they wanted to charge it didn't make much difference by doing it myself and selling on the old bonnet. Wasnt happy that I would have had to leave the car with a garage I didn't know either as they sub out their body shop stuff.
You won't get anything from Renault I wouldn't have thought. I just had a Renault Uk contribution. Full service history is a massive thing for Renault to give you anything I got a 50% contribution and have kept my old bonnet. The bodyshop I knew the manager and the lad working on it, they looked after it. I can see why you wouldn't want it just going to anybody as I wouldn't. How much did the bonnet end up costing you if you don't mind me asking. There are already fibreglass bonnets, fibreglass and carbon bonnets and full carbon bonnets on the market for the R26's away from Renault
The car due to recently purchasing my first house has taken a back seat. It hasn't been washed in months let alone driven. This needed changing. I managed to get a couple of days off work and get the cars new home sorted. I gave the garage a refresh along with the car how the garage was emptied after a refresh Ive left the garage to dry properly out before putting anything in it. Hopefully get everything and the car back in on Saturday onto the cars first wash Also got the gold heat reflective sheet back onto the new bonnet. Jobs to do in the following weeks: replace the small bumper sticker from the bonnet sticker set remove the front bumper and properly re-align it, it seems to have moved slightly a full detail take it out and enjoy it cheers
Looks good! Those carlsberg flags are a bit controversial against your stella haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Don't get me started on those flags!! lol They'll be down soon, just got to be tactical with the new neighbour
Cars looking good mate. I didn't bother with that gold heat protection on my new one. Doesn't work. I bought this, bonnet doesn't seem to get nowhere near as hot.
unfortunatley i don't think there is an effectively solution for the bonnet, i got a heat blanket around the turbo and stuff stuck to my bonnet and its still gone milky and that is the 2nd oem bonnet, ( changed under warranty before i brought).
Anbody tried fitting a R26 engine cover that might help with the heat it has a metal heatshield just above the turbo
Stunning car ! love the colour bud. There's one for sale at KTR I keep looking at very tempted but out of my price range for now
I agree, I don't think there is a solution Cheers I've seen a few people with this and sometimes do think about it but never acted on it They really are brilliant cars Still holding strong at the minute
So, haven’t updated this in a while. Not a lot has happened to the car to be honest. It’s now on a different plate, exhaust hangers changed and just generally been chilling in the garage. Last year I think it did 1200 miles. New plate, first picture is before the hanger was changed. [/URL ] [/URL ] Reason for the new plate was I got a new daily which I wanted my plate on. [/URL ] Even had a cheeky de-badge lol [/URL ] Both together [/URL ] Some general snaps, working Saturdays is never ideal but always a lot easier when I take the megane. [/URL ] [/URL ] [/URL ] More general pictures [/URL ] [/URL ] [/URL ] [/URL ] Can’t pass up an excuse to post another new toy, just for the carbon lovers. Full carbon fibre framed push iron [/URL ]
