But the fog/ spotlights are the same......or close enough to fit.....! Who would have thought that Porsche parts would be better value and more available than Renault!
No wonder the market share of Renault is falling fast

Taking the "wee wee"!! There's a reasonable markup and then there is extortion. It's a cheap plastic part, even Ferrari wouldn't have the cheek to charge that for it. With the less than outstanding customer service Renault have been offering for years now, it really is no wonder people won't buy them anymore. Shame because they used to make bloody great cars. :x

They still make good cars (Renaultsport make the best hot hatches around) and the part prices arnt too bad for the likes of the clio etc but the old stuff is a different story!!! The parts price's make no sence though, the windscreen rubber for the 610 cast me £40 from renault and the side grill's were £20 each which are all reasonable, but £500 for the indicator is a joke.

Makes my venturi look very cheap for parts in comparison!!!

Are the side grills still available?

Renaultsport products are the highlight of the range without doubt. There seems to be some good looking new designs coming from Laurens Van Der Acker so I'm sure Renault will get back on track. He is also a big Alpine fan allegedly.

Still think they missed a trick with the Laguna Coupe, it's a great looking car but the front end lets it down. Such a shame they didn't graft an imposing grill on it and go for a RenaultSport version with the 3.5 V6 350/370z engine.
