Wanna try and get the exterior sorted first, not to fussed about the interior atm, mine is exactly the same except it isn't leather, it has the funny folding headrests and the big bolsters on the side of the seats too, so not hugely bothered about that now, but will defo be looking into it in the future!
Have you got the wings mate?
Its just i didnt see it mentioned in any of your posts and the bumper and the skirts wont go on if they are offcial renault sport ones as the wing is different at the bottom for the skirts to clip in, and the wings are alot wider for the front bumper to fit right.
Thanks, Sam!

Ok, picked up my wheels today and put them on, very very happy with the quality of them, and how they look on the car!
Here's a couple of pics:
Hoping to have the front bumper, wings and skirts on by the weekend!!
P.S The white marks on the wheels are from where they fitted the tyres (that water stuff they use) not actual marks!

hi lad, glad to see the alloy wheel going to good use.
maybe it is the light, but just check that paint work and if needs be take some better photos and put them up on here . . . from what i can see it looks to be a very poor finish (very dull) and will annoy you when the parts are on the car as it will look out of place.
like i said, could well be just the light, but worth checking

You're talking about the bumper and skirts yer?
I know what you mean, the car is going back to the place that painted them once all the bits are on, to have it all flattened off and polished up, they don't look too bad tbh, I don't think the picture does it any justice as it was in the shade, with nothing really to make it stand out as shiny!! (if that makes sense!!)

1.2 Dynamique billabong
dont forget you will need clips to rivett to the car to hold the sideskirts on
1.2 Dynamique billabong
yeah mate you will definately need them, they rivett to the car then then lip of the skirt hangs over them, renault will sell them at a stupid price, i managed to get mine of here. i just had to get some from my replica skirts as previously i had just glued them but one had started to come away. they fit much better with the clips
they work like this

1.2 Dynamique billabong
yep its not that difficult, you just need to make sure they are in the right place as if they are too high it will push the skirt up and then you wont be able to open the door without ripping it off
It's quite funny actually 'cos I was in my garden the other day looking at the skirts and thinking, "surely just those couple of screws don't hold it on all by themselves!!"
Obviously I was right lol.
I wonder if I could use summit else?
I mean it's only a bit of plastic after all, so if I just get one made up similar, then it should do the same job I would have thought!

White Clio 1.2 @ 172
funnily enough I might have some of those clips from my 172 that i tore up. send me a PM and ill let you know if i can get them off over the weekend.
this is the remains of it http://www.facebook.com/v/137750510692 hahaha
Bit of an update, fitted the wings and front bumper over the weekend. Wasn't as difficult as I thought, just a matter of finding all the bloody bolts!!
Pics:
And then with it all fitted:
Then I had my coileys fitted today:
Before:
After:
Not sure how much it's been lowered by, the garage did it all for me. I know the backs are wound right down, but not sure about how much the fronts are?!
Still got a few things to do:
RS Upper Grill
RS Lower Grill (should be here by weds bought it from someone on here)
Colour code door strips and handles
Side skirts need to be fitted, trynna get hold of the clips to put them on with.
Let me know what you think.

Looking great fella! Coilovers have done the trick
Cheers mate, they look 1000x better on the car than they did in my living room!
lol.
BMW E30 325iiiiii
it'll b gettin all the radiator heat.
get urself a cold air feed from the bottom left of the engine up to it
stand as if ur lookin at the engine from the front right down at the left side near where the fog lamp shood be or is ull find a plastic flap the cuts out with the use of the old Stanley blade, run it up to ur induction kit and cable tie it to the old mount for the original engine cover/air filter
i used to have that very induction kit on my old 1.2, gave it a nice wee bit of torque, nothing dramatic but compared to the standard setup it was noticeable.

I was going to post this picture to show you my car when I was fitting the skirts the other week... I see I was beat to it! lol... Anyway, I was dreading fitting the skirts but actually it was the easiest part of the RS Rep conversion.. You really do need the proper brackets as its quite incredible that they hold the skirts so well.. I didnt use any glue so they have a self tapping screw at the front then are bolted underneath which I had to drill 5 holes for to match the holes at the bottom of the side skirt. I luckly got a full set of 16 brackets with the skirts I bought, but I know Renault sell them individually as some silly price. Some people have got away with only putting 4 down each side... but as I had them I put 8. Just take your time measuring and like I did you can use a marker to mark the back of the skirt where each bracket sits then transfer those marks onto the car by measuring the distance between each before then drilling and riveting etc.. Dont know if it was necessary but when I drilled the hole I also put some black silicone in it which I hope will make a seal between the hole and rivet and stop any water getting in..
Get intouch if you have a question that I havent covered!
Good Luck!
I've just noticed that, I think it might be because I haven't yet put the plastic cover back on that sits on the bumper and bolts in somewhere underneath the car, think it might be making it sag a bit. It's all secure i've checked it, and all the bolts are in that I took out, it must just be because of that plastic cover that's not back on yet.
Didn't put it back on because I'm waiting for the lower grill to come and I'd have to take it off to put that on anyway, I thought it would be here today!
Yes, They are your crash pads, they clip into the back bits and if you go into the back of someone, it wont just smash your front bumper to pieces.
They are designed to withstand the impact to a certain extent!
That maybe why your front bumper is sagging.

yeah should be,
bonxy left his at bodyshop so he will tell you how bad bumper sits without them
1.2 Dynamique billabong
looks good buddy, i think and dont quote me on this as it was a while since i did mine but you should have a plastic tray that connects to the bumper and is held on to the bottom of the car by two bolts, i think its to stop stones flicking up and hitting the radiator. also im not sure you will be able to fit the lower sport grill with the bumper on the car
