Rotten Front Radiator support

[alexb4]

Hi just done some work on the front end of my 07 Mk3 clio, and noticed this rotten support, it seems like water has been trapped between it and the arch liner. Does anyone know the part number or details on what it is. Also maybe worth checking yours and giving it a liberal coat of underseal on it.

Underseal wont help you. Suggest once the bolt on part is removed that you coat the remainder in Fertan following manufacturers instructions then paint with chassis paint eg Granvilles, then coat with underseal. And change that knackered rubber bush too!

Has that taken a clout from the underneath? Maybe the knock was enough to crack or split the original paint coating and once that opening started to get wet - you were on a downhill slope.

I hope you manage to get it sorted!

I didn't mean for me to under seal it, I obviously know it's shagged. I was referring to others to possibly under seal there's.

Yes you could have a point there. Just been searching eBay and the web but can't seem to find the part though

Did you ever find out the ID's of these parts? I have the same exact issue!

By the looks of it you need the whole radiator subframe too as it's rotten!

BTT Motorsport have them in stock iirc, drop them a message or visit their website. They offer fitting too
