Hi at some point I will need a replacement rear lid for my Renault 4- does anyone have one in UK ?
Clementine- if no one here has one is that something that George @ Whitehouse would have ? He would be high I feel though since a Renault main dealer.

I think Renault can still supply the tailgate. Most secondhand tailgates will have rust in the seam at the bottom (or at least most of mine do).
 
Sounds like you have a good Renault there. It's possible to repair the lower flange, but it's a bit fiddly. I'll be using up my supply of one good original tailgate on my project, but it took 8 cars for me to find it. A new one would be much less risky if you can get it.
 
Just a thought if you buy a new one direct from renault (IF they have one) wont it have the wrong hinges ie bolt on and also holes for reverse lights
spoiling the cars originality
or is a renault 4 so rare now that no one would notice?
