Has anyone had their bonnet replaced under warranty by RUK ? Mine is starting to turn milky from engine heat. Need to know if RUK are likely to cover. Please advise.
Carlg had his replaced but that was a good couple of years ago mate, worth a phone call though , please let me know how you get on. Steve
i think most R have this to some extent, i can see it on mine but only when it's hot.Liquidf1 had his replaced a few years back. as Steve says, let us know how you get on.
i put reflective silver on mine but looked the other day and thats even started to struggle. might find some proper heat reflection stuff before she's back in feb. (space shuttle tiles anyone?)
mine has just a couple of little defects like below since ive installed the gold heat reflective paint its stopped it from progressing so far touch wood anyway
from asking jay at miglior about it he just said its from the heat and its the lacquer/gel coat separating from the carbon so very strange to have it on a new bonnet to be honest
in fact the bonnet is still at our london west branch.i reckon its a manufacturing fault on a certain batch of them.the shape of whats on yours is nearly identical to that we had in
Ads -any chance you could poke around and see how warrantable it is? Im on Renaults extended warranty if it helps
I'd like to know too please as mine is also fooked. Let's hope they have a few knocking about somewhere as I believe the company that made them for Renault went tits up.
If your car is over 3 years old or 60000 ml it won't be covered and the extended warranty is normally for mechanical parts only. Your best bet would be to contact Renault customer service and see if they can help you out.
Is that official? RUK are likely to barf on a defective product? After 24k? hmm. Ill be cancelling warranty immediately if thats the case.
Sorry to Hijack the thread and if the powers above need to remove again sorry please do My mate Matt has does carbon repairs as part of his Detailing business for quite sometime now really knows his stuff , he's got more info and pics on his site just tell him Shippo sent yer www.d2detail.com
