OP: you might have some luck tracking one down on a model specific forum.

The nerds as www.renaultsport.co.uk might be better placed to offer sycophantic nonsense about how an expensive bit of black K-Tec plastic will improve your already fine steed.
Try the dealer sales section on www.renaultsport.co.uk. £200 sounds fairly reasonable to me though.

does to me also. renault supply the rubber strip on the bottom for £120. that is ridiculous.hey thanks for that, dont want to take it off as it would mean removing all of the kit and thats abit pointless. the parts for this car are stupidly rare as i have already had issues getting front ball joints for it ended up having it whole hub unit shipped from france, so you can imagine how difficult sourcing a plastic bumper spoiler is? im s

.........funny you should mention that! passenger side headlight bulb went, so yes the wheel had to come off for it to be replaced!!!! the french must really hate us
You don't have to remove the wheel to get to the bulbs. Yes its a utter ball-ache to replace a bulb but if you remain calm its a 30min job. (I own a 197 that likes to blow its bulbs on both sides at once)

either your a umpa lumpa or you have spagetti as fingers? theres no way you can fit your hand in that small hole to change the bulb?
Nope. I'm pretty normal on the size and fingers front, you can remove some of the plastics inside the engine bay to give greater access. Ok, its still very fiddly but can be done without issue. The passenger side is the mere side so I tend to start on the drivers side.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
