My poor little Trophy :(

Mikeyjp · Apr 9, 2013

the bodyshop have been instructed to strip the front end of the car down to make sure there are no other surprises, looks like the repairs are going ahead now

i take the insurance company can remove the Cat C off the system now they have changed their minds?

Yup, as it wont be a write-off if its repaired

Proves how useless a HPI check is when it comes to 'has my car been crashed' really lol.

Badgerman85 · May 10, 2013

Take it back and get them to fix it properly? Annoyingly it could be any number of things!

Mikeyjp · May 10, 2013

they color coded the washer jet covers for me

James_H · May 10, 2013

Agreed, looks really odd with red ones, not a fan! Really pleased it got resurrected and is back on the road though! Nice work mate

Lol, tbh i would be furious if they did that to mine. Each to there own, some have done it by choice, but I would be demanding that they put it back to original. The blanking plates are stupidly expensive and just re-painting them back to black looks rubbish.

Mikeyjp · May 11, 2013

I think it looks stupid having them in the bumper, they should have fitted a bumper with no washer holes in the 1st place

hoolio · May 11, 2013

It would be super simple to fill and smooth but you have to remember that Renault spent all the money on the dampers and seats and the rest is a bin parts special so thinking that they would remanufacture the bumper for just 500 or so T's is wishful thinking. But hey all this is splitting hairs, at least it's back :up:
