I'm about 2 hrs away from the seller... though my missus would kill me if I deviated from the ski holiday route.

The Swiss franc has just gone nuts... comforting to see this is priced in Euro.

Swiss government has just in the past couple of days unpegged the Ch Franc from the Euro causing a 30+% rise in the value of the Franc against just about all currencies, Ouch if you are changing money now!

Tell me about it...
I'm driving into France to buy my France/Switzerland ski passes in order to save £100!

Need one of these...... looks like this one has sold already.

Are they still available from renault directly?

Has anyone tried any of the aftermarket GRP offerings ?

 

[Kett]

I don't imagine Renault will have any.

Grp offerings on some parts are 'okay' but need work to fit.
I think that the bumpers are a little disappointing.

spoke to renaultpartsdirect... renault have as they are made to order by hand... GBP 1100 ish

...but sounds like even the factory made ones are iffy in terms of fit and quality with a number of newly ordered bumpers returned due to this fact.

So takes us back to whether anyone here has ordered aftermarket and was happy with the product?

Phase 2 originals are pressure die moulded and not hand laid up!
Hand laid are only as good as the bucks and moulds to start with as if these are not stable, the whole process produces warped or mis-shapen panels, after that it is down to the ability of the laminator and the materials he is using

 

[hkv6]

so one here has used an aftermarket one ?

...will sound out the other forums.
