    Hi guys,
    I have a Renault Senic, 00 model. At the moment it needs a petrol flap as it was pulled off. I can get one from the scrap dealer for 20 euro and and will have to spray it. I need to get into the bolts that holds on he petrol flap and I'm coming to the conclusion that a panel or something might have to be removed to get at the two small nuts. Has anyone any ideas of the easiest way to do this? Would it be just work out easier if I ordered it off the Renault dealer in the right colour and got them to fit it? The only difference is , it will cost me 150 euro.

    For a 00 model I'd definitely be getting one from a scrap yard. I'd say with a bit of ringing around you'll even get one in the right colour. Its not an item that gets replaced very often. Also if you go to the scrap yard to get it, you'll get to take the one off their car, so you'll know how it goes on.

    Thanks for the reply,
    I can get it from the scrap dealer but they have all their cars broken down already and have all their parts in storage.
