The Mégane II Owners' Club

Hi

Im new to this forum but im in desperate need of some help. I have a 5dr Renault Megane 1.4i and recently scratched the side panel on the passenger side above the wheel arch. A couple of people i know have said the bumps on the arch can be popped out, and then sanded down, followed by a re-spray.

Has anyone ever suffered this, or do you have any tips on how to get this replaced at a simple cost? Anything less than £500 would be good. Also been advised to look around at breaker's yards as i may need a new panel completely.

Thanks,
Chris

it can be poped out it will leave a little crease / that will be filled in,sanded down then resprayed no more than £150

So do you reckon i should go to Renault regarding this? Thanks for the help/advice.

AVOID Renault at all costs. Look in yellow pages for body repair shops. should be a few local to you. I've just had similar done on wifes 307 and it was £150. The guy said price goes up if damage is near to another panel ie:door as they then have to blend the door as well to get a good match. wifes was above the wheel arch like yours so shouldn't be too bad.

Remember that the wings are plastic so may stand up less well to damage

only the front wings are
