Hope this is the right section, mods feel free to shout at me.

Mr Dw118 asked me to post this.

He curbed twig to give way to an ambulance (yes him, nothing to do with me) this is the damage......

Obviously he is looking to get fixed asap, he said he has been told by one person that fixes this sort of stuff that because they are glossy black they wont be able to repair? And would have to be a full refurb? Is this right?

How much would you be looking at for a repair? And how much for full alloy refurb?

Be nice now x
 
Dunno about repair but I have 4 wheels in for refurb at the moment. £62 using a standard paint or £71 using a stupid renault paint code that's hard too get. The going rate around my way seems to be £60-£65 if that helps.

Ask your Reno dealer if they can do it because there have the proper paint

Might book it in at main dealers in Manchester, instead of lookers as it doesn't have the accident repair centre.

I'd do that or there get a man with a van to do it
 
Contacted both lookers and Renault Manchester and don't offer it on site ( Renault Manchester said they use to offer it ) but both gave me details of people they both now use, been quoted 40 quid booked in for Monday, will post when done .
