    Nightmare day

    Had some fun today...throttle cable decided to snap so I had to call the AA out to fit a temporary one, then when I got home I was annoyed to see a nice big stone chip on my newly sprayed bonnet! Havin no luck with this bloody car at the moment, got the front discs to change also cos one is fooked cos the garage did'nt fit them right. Can't help but notice stone chips like that on a bonnet...considering having another re-spray :(

    gutted mate.

    dont worry about stone chips. they are fooking enevitable (sp)!

    these clio's always keep you on your toes with things needing fixed. much better that way tho. means the car is in better nick at the end of the day!

    Cheers m8ty..is it generally best to get a genuine renault throttle cable or would a copied version be ok? I've had the previous one repaired, and was told this would be ok...only to snap again.

    Lol, best go for the Renault one then...cheers guys, as people say, u do your best to keep your car looking good, but eventually you get chips/scratches etc.
