I was involved in an accident yesterday evening on a country road near home. Having slowed down to 15mph (on a bend) with trees on nearside a Volvo car caught the offside trim and the motorhome trim has been scuffed (not bent or split) and a low trim light broken off!! No injuries!

Can someone advise how to remove scuff marks and also what this small orange side light is called - for purchasing a replacement?

Thanks
 
If it is simply cracked, or broken with no parts missing (which is what it looks like in your photo) a good repair shop could fix it for a lot less than a replacement part. See my photos below.

At the time, I didn’t keep all the bits but my repairer said that if I had, I would not have needed the length of trim on the right or the ‘collar’ under the door frame. The door was also very badly scored (it doesn’t look too bad in the ‘before’ because I tried T cutting it).

Magic sponge will do wonders for those scuff marks unless they are deeply scratched.

Update. A lot of the trim has been cleaned with Tcut, thankfully. However, the trim around the side light is broken and cracked!

Does anyone know the part number from Prima for a replacement, or does anyone know where I can get a new one apart from Prima?

Thanks,
Try googleing side light markers. You will no doubt find a cheaper alternative possibly by Hella.
