as some of you might remember about a month ago i made a thread shoing how my car looked after someone ran into the back of it....

so after driving the worst car ever made for two weeks

( and waiting an extra 4 days for the parcel shelf string clips to be delivered, before i could pick it up as the receptionist said it was the bumper clips )
they got a williams sticker but havnt fitted it as they didnt know where it went, despite them supposedly having the old tailgate to hand.

so got it home and had a look as it was pissing it down when i picked it up, and they had stuck the renault badge on wonky!

so i took it off and they hadnt put the rubber grommits in the holes to stop water

so rang them up and they said that its because the new badge sits proud with the grommits in so they waxed the inside of the tailgate (which they havnt):roll:

but now the badge sticker isnt sticky anymore so having to use some m3 sponge tape and silicone in the holes to get it back on.

was a bit disappointed about the non production of the '2' stickers
so thought id try the renault dealership near where im working, went in and the lad said they had stopped making them, but a guy came over and said he had a box of discontinued stuff with a '3' in it i said it wasnt bothered and left.

on my way out of the car park i thought i may as well get it and give it someone on here so went back in and asked him for it, and he producesd these babys.....

hed made a mistake of thinking they were 3's
and best of all i got them for the costly price of....... nothing!!:lol:

he told me due to the new line of renaults with decals they are phasing out the production of old ones, so whats in the dealership store rooms is whats left!

so im well happy now

nope he just had a box of different belts and stuff , i had a good rummage round but to no more luck, guy was sound as a pound, he even offered me a set of centre caps for cost price as mine are still with matt (the previous owner) who is supposed to be sending them me at some point.

trust me if there were anymore id have got them, ive read the decal thread and know the mission you lot have been on!
