Hi, Can anyone tell me what and where to find replacements of these please? Wing to frame and bumper etc Bolts and fasteners please? Thanks in advance.

its completely missing. not attached at the wheel end but i have found the 2 pin connector tucked up behind the wheel arch

Ok, so I've managed to get a little more time and started to strip back the front end of the Clio so see why the wing doesn't fit properly. I had a feeling but wasn't sure when i bought it but had HPI checked it before. Anyway its got some bent bits. It looks to me like its had a light bump...

just compared the one in picture to the others on the side. is it too much thread or wrong nut? and does it matter?

Thanks for all the help and advice.

yeah thats the plan which is gonna be learning curve for me. @midge is helping me out with the ABS sensor and some other bits. Going to replace the springs (got eibachs), shocks, top mounts, discs, pads then get it to a garage to check tracking and alignments etc. May out spacers on the fronts...

should have said. eibach springs to go on. the red ones are coming off.

ah ok. i'll be totally honest if you've not guessed already. I don't know a lot about cars. the front end spacing does seem quite narrow and i think it has camber adjusting bolts in the top hole of the strut. its sitting pretty low. I've got a full set of eibach 30mm springs. What made you...

On the thread do you mean on the track rod?

Hi, yeah. The guy i got it off had it MOT'd Jan this year at 117.8k. Previous MOT was Dec 16 at 113.8k. so 4k in just over 3 years. All the tyres on it are cracked, old, no tread so def swapped them for a different set for its MOT.

looks like it. need to take the wheel off again and have a close look. def no wires hanging and no fault light on the dash. can they be mapped out?

Thanks. This cars starting to make my head hurt. another thing i need to sort out.

Probably a daft question but is there supposed to be a sensor on both front wheels struts. Also, for the front shock. If cup shocks are is the 60mm bolt centre to centre?$ No fault light on the dash Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies guys. All greatly appreciated. The more bits i fond on this one the more i'm tempted to sell it and buy a different one lol. For the heat shield, do you mean the main black one against the bulk head or one over the exhaust manifold like the one in picture. Apologies...

follow up question. Does anyone know where i can get a replacement brake servo vacuum hose/pipe from please? The one on mine, apart from having holes in seems to be a right bodge job at the manifold end and 3 bits and a dent half way down towards the mc.
