Panel Gap

[LukeRS]

Noticed this morning that there's now a reasonable panel gap where my from bumper meets the bonnet, just next to my light. Pretty sure it wasn't like that before or I would have noticed. Anyone else had anything similar?

Yeah, I've seen it on a few Clio's. This is mine...

Just french build quality I suppose...

Hi mate,

Noticed it with mine on the rear bumper. Its those little black clips that Renault use they come loose. (like the one holding the Washer fluid tube next to driver side head light). Check that hasnt fallen off or just come loose.

Having looked under the bonnet it appears that yes one of the clips has come out of where the bumper attaches. Will just have to use a cable tie to hold it in for now.

I take it that a replacement clip will be very cheap?

Hi Mate,

Yeah they are about £1 each:

Can get them from renault scrappage places a lot cheaper or just use small nut and bolt. Hope it solves the issue.

That's great. Thanks for the help.
