D'oh and double D'oh!

The only hard to source bit is the UJ I think .GTA specific and not available anymore .

I was certainly doing no more than 30mph on impact.....I was only doing 45 down the road before hand. My steering column maybe already had some impacting before hand.....but the wheel was well attached prior to the accident!

Started off as 20 could possibly be 45 ' Would you like to step out of the car now please Sir .Don't stop until I say so ............................... When was the last time you were on full boost

I checked the availability of the one on ebay and it came up as approx £50 + VAT on the Renault system

When I tried some years ago it was listed but in reality said it would have to be made ,three months later still no UJ

And the cost of the column? Please!

Price of the front panel comes up just short of £700 I had the same trouble 18months back with the insurance company when there repair centre got in touch with renault they got back the 6k price! It took an hour with my local and thankfully helpful renault centre parts dept phoning about to find the part number Stephen has had been superseded that number is for the Renault badged cone which is no longer available but it still took 16weeks to arrive after it was ordered.
Front panel part no. 6001019012 £701.44+VAT From Renault.

he does in France

Can't you just forget the nosecone and put a nice flat renault 5 front end on it - I hear they are fast!

I'm guessing Peter will repair with all good second hand parts but he just needs the costings for the insurance company.

God I'd hope so - what a rip off for a big airfix model kit. How much do wings for other Renaults cost where they have used polypropelene (I think Clios and perhaps Lagunas have them)? Are they more or less expensive than you'd expect to pay for metal?

[stephendell]

Varies hugely.

Clio V6 Phase I £2000+

Clio V6 Phase II £300 approx
