Very nice, who fitted the screen and the new screen seal, did you buy the seal yourself and if you did do you have any part numbers and can you point me in the direction of where you got them,
Cheers.
The screen was from renault £150 a while back, i payed a local windscreen guy to fit the screen got the inner seal of the guy its like a black plastic type , and the outta was from renault also , can get parts but will have to pm them you as they are at work.
OK thanks if you could it would be great to have the parts thanks.
