How can it possibly take that long!? Forgetting the prep and paintwork also by the looks RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Magenta Sunset - 26-12-2015 I did my own (on a used bonnet), will do some more next year. RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Toms306 - 26-12-2015 Ah I didn't notice paint there, thought they might come ready painted these days, my bad. ![]() I hope you're not paying for their fag and tea breaks btw. ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Ben_w - 26-12-2015 The bills gotta get to almost £2500 before its 60% of the cars value.....£2100 + vat...... Not sure on parts prices but is it likely to be £1300 in bits? I'd be buying that back if they did write it off and fix it myself... RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 26-12-2015 Bumper is £500 alone from renault :/ insane prices for genuine RS stuff! RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - RetroPug - 27-12-2015 If you're planning on keeping it ages it might be worth just getting them to fix it. If they do try to write it off you could try insisting over and over that you want that car fixed. Or you could just pull some strings at the FBI HQ. RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - fatlapit - 27-12-2015 All repairs come close to 1k or they wint entertain them.

Are they Xenon headlights as well? They won't be cheap if so, knowing what mine would cost lol. RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - ginge191 - 27-12-2015 Thats harsh mate - it will be a pricey fix purely because of that front structural damage. Also, i'll vulture some parts ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 28-12-2015 There's no structural damage though, it's all bolt on pieces! Headlights are none xenon type ones, hence why I have purchased some black insert xenon ones for when it's back ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Poodle - 29-12-2015 Jesus, that's vicious! Keeping my fingers crossed it's good. RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Magenta Sunset - 29-12-2015 on a buy back note, could some of the panels be replaced from a breakers? (I have ASM near me, been told they also ship).

RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - RetroPug - 03-01-2016 What's happening with this then? RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 05-02-2016 In a weird turn of events, insurance were doing what is apparently the 'norm' and stringing everything out and just generally taking the piss. So when they finally came back to me with a settlement figure i told them to shove it and that i would keep the car and accept a smaller payout. So basically minus my excess etc i ended up with a duffed megane and 2k to fix it with. Negotiated various deals etc (for all new genuine parts but from various suppliers to obtain the best discounts etc) and looks like i'll have a grand left over once its been repaired. Thats going straight in the rallye fund ![]() So now im sat here waiting for the cheque too clear, a mobile mechanic has f*cked my HDi leaving me without transport so my mate has incredibly kindly leant me his mk7 golf GTD DSG for a couple of weeks. So appreciative of the amazing friends i have fair play. RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Dum-Dum - 05-02-2016 What happened to the HDi? RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Magenta Sunset - 05-02-2016 "So appreciative of the amazing friends i have fair play.

It got hungry and ate its own aux belt like so: ![]() ![]() SO i left it with a mechanic over the weekend i was away rallying, he managed to smash the fuel filter housing then replace it with one filled with shit derv & brass filings which has messed it all up. i cant be bothered to spend anymore money or time on it so just waiting for the meg or clio 172 to be fixed now.

I have 2 if you want to buy one ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 05-03-2016 Picked up a hoard of bits for this last night including: Uprated alloy intercooler R26 black mask headlights with 8k HID conversion R26 bumper (same as original but complete with R26 splitter etc) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Piggy - 05-03-2016 Good effort ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Matt-Rallye - 05-03-2016 (05-03-2016, 11:17 AM)Piggy Wrote: Good effort Now i have the larger cooler i can get it mapped also ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside - Niall - 05-03-2016 I went from the standard R26 cooler to a forge one (looks identical to your new one) on the 6 and the difference was amazing!

The DCi175 has a larger core intercooler than the R26 as standard so this one may see me slightly better flow but it wont be anything major tbf, mostly will just look shiny behind the bumper ![]() Also finally got a pic of the headlights ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside, NOW FINISHED! - Matt-Rallye - 02-04-2016 Finally pulled my finger out and decided enough was enough! so got the bumper sprayed up and got the megane all stripped back, repaired a few broken brackets etc and started bolting fresh bits back on ![]() I was fortunate enough to be owed a favour by someone who happens to be the best in the business locally for prep & spray work as you will see... ![]() ![]() ![]() Haven't even taken any decent pics of the car since ive been back enjoying it but here's some potato spec shots from my ever popular snapchat... ![]() ![]() The black mask lights have transformed how the front end looks in the daylight! Very very pleased with the results, also ordered some R26 shocks and some H&R 30mm springs for it which should suss the handling! Now just an engine mount too replace and she should be done... for now! ![]() RE: Stacked the megane! woopsy pics inside, NOW FINISHED! - bashbarnard - 02-04-2016 yahhh well done man. good effort |
