I've not had chance to look at my current one, but I've just collected my new one from the Dealer and it has a dent in it.

Should it be there to help it fit over or around something or is it damaged?

That's the other side isn't it? I'm a little reassured, ill know for for sure tomorrow when I swap them over I guess.
Its 100% supposed to go flat around the arm area but shouldn't have that big dent at the end it should bore back out smoothly - its not too bad though but if you can get it swapped easy enough I would do.
I took loads of pictures of mine before I put it on but annoyingly didn't have any pictures of that side bar this one - not the best but you can see where it dips then smoothes back out.

Just fitted it but forgot the keys to start it up. Going back to the lock up in a bit, I think a new centre section is gonna be needed fairly soon :s
Thanks for your help peeps.
The old silencer is totally different to the Renault one I have now, I'll put up a couple of pictures later for an ID if anyone is interested

Any ideas what the old silencer was? I took a closer picture of the stamp info in case it helps.
The bottom photo is a comparison of the dent in the pipe, the new one was bigger than the old one, but I went with it anyway. Im not really sure if anyone really cares, but I thought it could be added to the picture list in case anyone is as bigger spanner as me.

any takers on the old silencer? Motreo?
yes its identical to the one i have
it has been revised with a better tailpipe and it now comes in 3 sections to aid fitment.
The dent is the same as mine - glad im not the only one who thought it was wrong
