Hi just wondered how much it would cost for a new 'Renault Clio Front Wing Passenger Side panel' to be replaced at a garage. My wife had an accident with ice, so a few cracks & indicator cover broken off. Is it worth claiming on the insurance?

Appreciate any help /advice


Thx

    Depends on the paint, But a new wing plus paint and labour could be in excess of £600.

    depends on the year.. might hit lucky and get from from a breaker for around £30 in the right colour then maybe an hour to fit it

    Hi just been quoted........'The wing is £78.83

    Paint materials will be £125.50 and £240 to paint & fit the part'
    .

    Is this reasonable?

    The indicator cover on the side wing was broken but the bulb was still in tact & working as usual. I've just put a temp plastic cover over to prevent water entry. Where do I stand legally at the moment with the light as it is?

    Thx

    Sounds huge. Is that main dealer?

    On my Golf a local bodyshop supplied, painted and fitted a new wing with liner for £240

    If it's any colour other than straight black you'll almost certainly need the door blending to match the colour.
    Any bodyshop worth it's salt will have included that in the costing but I'd get conformation before you procede

  • Breakers yard for a complete wing with fittings won't cost much. Pretty sure the front wings on 2000+ clios are plastic. There's plenty of them in breakers yards.
