 Unfortunately our C4 has been in the wars with a Mercedes (see attached!) and although I suspect the insurers will attempt to write it off for this damage I'm trying to come up with plan B, repairing the car myself if needs be. Indeed the one quote I've had for repairs is in the region of £4-500, hardly a write off.

I'd be grateful if anyone can give me the exact terms for the trim rubbing strips which need replacing as I'm unsure what to ask for. Alternatively is there a bodywork diagram on the form that gives the part numbers?

Many thanks

 You want parts 20 (rear wing protector) and 21 (Hog Ring)

The side trim is £39.02 unpainted from Citroen and the clips (hog ring) are £2.08 each but can be found cheaper on eBay apparently.

 Belated thanks for that! Sadly due to the car now being rear ended, which damaged the gearbox the car is now a write off.

 Thankfully no one got hurt. Although the stress of dealing with insurers and car salesman might count!
