Refurbed steering wheel with yellow stitching

New door card - no dirty ciggy burn.

New handbrake lever - no scuffs :smile:

Hi Shaun mate, "well done" to you to also mate

yes I know mate it was a hard decision selling it but it was getting to the point that I didn't want to drive it in case I got a mark on it - kind of took a little enjoyment out of it if you get me. Plus I wanted something faster

Selling the AG freed up the money to do the conversion on another 200.
This car will be immaculate when I have finished it - you know me mate

Awesome news. @Willliams is the man to make this happen

Cheers Mossy..! Yeah, I know exactly what you're getting at mate. Makes perfect sense to move it on to be able to persue your goals with regards modifying a decent RS200. Really looking forward to following its progress and seeing project reach fruition!

I recently bought something with a bit of boost haha.. I'll Whatsapp you a couple of pics. You might be shocked haha..

Be good to see you and the car there pal.

How do you find say the 200 to the 182 trophy? Only ask as I'm in two minds to try a newer car. Either a 200, fiesta st or Megane 250. Cost wise the clio would be cheaper.

The 182 Trophy feels so much livelier compared to a 200. You just feel like you are constantly thrashing the 200 to get the best out of it. The 182's just pick up so early and go and go compared to the 200. As for handling I would say there is very little in it tbh. But then I am comparing a Trophy against it so has a battle on its hands.

We have a completely different opinion on this mate! Lol! I find the handling of the 200 surpasses the mk2 in every area. And this is coming from someone who had a very trick chassis on a 172 cup. I also find that the ratios in the 6 speed to make the speed very deceptive, but agree that they take a bit more right foot to get them on the move though.

Oh and regards to origine Rs, I might be having a spitfire flight from goodwood next year! Lol! Definitely be good to see you there for the show though mate! And whichever one of the fleet you bring along! 😂

A bit of update:

Car gone in for painting to get rid off this:

And how it is looking currently:

Sprayers have said it going to be a b@stard to match the colour but they said they will do it.

mossyv6 · Dec 15, 2016

Also 2nd hand carpet received to replace the fag burned one! I wasn't very happy that they cut the centre of it upon removal but I am hoping the centre console will cover the cut otherwise it is going back.

mossyv6 · Dec 15, 2016

I have also been doing a bit of painting myself, lol.

20vKarlos · Dec 15, 2016

Oooh, this is one to watch!

mossyv6 · Dec 20, 2016

Bit of an update

Got the car back from the sprayers at the weekend, took them all of 4 days

They have done an awesome job

They have blended from the first third of the passenger door all the way round to the last 3/4 of the rear bumper.
Due to the quality of the spray I have swapped cars and the Trophy has gone in to get a few bits done

Also had an hour spare today so I swapped out for ciggy burned door card.
Before:

After:

Thanks for looking.

Stay Puft · Dec 20, 2016

Spray looks great! Your Renault addiction is brilliant.

Clio_fool · Dec 20, 2016

Nice one. If you don't mind what was the cost of the paint work? As seen in another thread, finding a good paint shop can be a nightmare!

Austin-182 · Dec 21, 2016

Nice thread Aladin. I will be watching this one...

Hope your well mate, and best wishes for Christmas

mintno1 · Dec 21, 2016

Loving this already, look forward to seeing what happens, loving the V6 makes me miss mine!

@mossyv6 could you PM how much the bodywork was, looks like they have done a great job have heard liquid yellow is a pain in the backside to match

It's no secret - it cost me £460 but that was due to the complexity of the paint and the fact he was painting and blending on 3 panels. He charges £150 per panel.
And yes totally agree on bodyshops I have had plenty of bad paint jobs before but these chaps are absolutely spot on and like I said it took them all of 4 doors.

Ben · Dec 21, 2016

Spotted this in the car park this morning on my way into work and it looked brilliant! Such a nice colour.

What's up with Central at Birdwell? They used to be amazing.

182_steve · Dec 21, 2016

What a stunning collection of cars, top work there chap........ defo worth a double thumbsup :up::up: haha did you have the V6 nearly new? That's really interesting you've had it 11 years, hopefully a keeper and not one to sell.

As for the 5 GT Turbo, any more photos? The mix of low's and wheels on an otherwise standard looking car looks great, just as i'd want one myself!

P.S. this LY is going to be a car to watch, great attention to detail

Thank you, much appreciated, it's on the to do list so am keeping my eye out for decent bodyshops and don't mind travelling to find one :up:
