I removed my front passenger side grill to 'back to black' it and wax my car on Sunday. However, it never fully went back in.
I phoned Renault and asked if a mechanic could look at it because it was a simple job that didn't even require tools.
The sales guy I spoke to said he couldn't do it for free. I explained that it literally was a "one minute job for a guy who probably does ten of these per day" and he said "bring it down".
Upon arrival he said he would need to drive it into the bay - where I wasn't allowed. Ten minutes later he came out saying it was a bumper off job to see if it was broken, which would cost £75.
I said "can't you just pull it out completely to see if it's broken" and he said it wasn't so easy. Then he said, once it was out, if it was broken, I would need to buy a new set of grills (fair enough).
Am I right in thinking that these grills just pop-in and that if I have bent a clip which prevents its return, I can get new grills and just put those in?
Any old garage could do this, couldn't they?
It's hardly noticeable, but, with my borderline OCD attention to detail, I can't have it like this for long...
HELP!
Tom.
