Good question 🤣 There is a guy on one of the Facebook groups that knows how to decode it, I can't remember his name though 🤦‍♂️

As for the metal repairs, sills are still widely available, the jacking points are as well but I only know of the ones available in the UK and obviously Bordanova for the rear quarters. The inner sill structures will be the biggest issue with the repairs, you can use Renault 5 GTT repair parts...

The VIN is also stamped onto the suspension tower on the passenger side of the engine bay and I'm fairly sure the colour code for the paint is part of that number

710 or 714? If it was a 714 I'd spit on it in disgust because of it's F4 similarities :p

Parked outside Victoria Coach Station with zero f***s given

The paint finish on the bumper looks just as good if not better than what it was from the factory so you're all good 👌 As for the brake discs, since they're nla you can use 172 discs which are 280mm or bin the caliper spacers and drop back down to the standard discs

The reg is familiar but buggered if I know or can remember anything more about it though 😂

I've recently bought a wet & dry vacuum from SGS for my workshop f**k knows what features it's got but it's wheels are a nice colour match to my track car wheels 😁

IDE that's the bit I couldn't remember 🤣 I might be confusing the F5R with what's in a Scenic or Laguna 🤷‍♂️

They've got their own F7R that's a development of the Williams F7R (completely different cylinder head) and the later versions were different again (chain driven oil pump) which were eventually developed into the F4R The really late ones had a de-tuned F4R in them, 140bhp iirc

The engine bay on the black one is so clean & tidy but the white one makes that look s**t in comparison, it's cleaner than any of my dinner plates 🤣

This is the low pressure pipe from the reservoir to the pump, 172 Cup version is the bottom one Sorry but I've not got a pic of high pressure pipes

Not off the top of my head. I do know that when fitting 172 brakes & hubs onto a mk1 some people have the stubs machined so they fit the mk1 shocks & I think it's something like 2mm off each side

If you're saying it's like that, it means that I'll deffo lose my rag & just set fire to the car 🤣 Sounds like I'm committed to taking the box off..................................yay :cry:
