I didn't get much done on the RB last week as i was busy doing other things. The bonnet has been rubbed down and is ready for paint. No pics of this. The bumper is now in the same stage. The RB's current residence and state. I did get the side skirts prepped and tonight i stayed on and...

Sam, what size plate is that front one? Height wise.

Ain't a bad shout.

Ah I see now.

Thanks bud. I was just going to use my original kick plates and double side tape them down again just like before. I dread to think how much they are new from Renault! Tbh mine are in good condition. As for the stickers, I'm going to see if I can get them from Renault. I know you used to be...

I was thinking of just using a art brush and doing it that way or getting a syringe and dropping it that way. I actually got some model paint that was a good colour match and spreads well. Well it did on card, I've yet to try it on the wheel! Secondly, what is it above? I can't make it out?

Looks wicked mate.

Such a tease!

Cool sign. I noticed the new clubsports have a different design on the harness sleeves.

Never! I couldn't handle the pressure!! ?

Not at all mate. I'm kinda new to it all and to be honest, I'm being guided through it. Yes I know it's all in the prep work. Good paint will show up bad prep so best get it good beforehand. Yeah we did decide on paint stripping the bonnet for that reason. It's a little harder elsewhere. The...

Fingers crossed it does. Be a shame for it to go. Especially after just having the belts done.

Gutted for you mate. When do you find out the outcome?

The sabelt DIY paint is terrible. I'm in the same boat as you now Toby, being yellowless and needing a refurb. You going snappy, royal, or someone else?

I am. But I will say that so far it's been a lot of work and I still got more to go that it feels like it's never ending. I know when I see colour being put on, then it will feel like there's light at the end of the tunnel. But it will look great when done ? Yeah I totally get that. I've...

Yes I did Scott. I used it on the front bumper. And the plan is to take more off. I certainly don't want sinkage!

It is, but not all from mine. It was there before but my gearbox does leak a tad. Selector seal but I need to remove the box to fix it, which can wait. So it looks worse than it is.

@GrahamV182 Your car always looks so clean! Also your pictures always look so sharp. Double likes!

Yeah it is Steve. Saying that, my old grill had been sprayed (prior to my ownership) so it was a satin black anyway. I'll get some cleaning stuff on it to keep it looking darker than it is now.

Got a bit more done. Jacking sills needed a bit of attention as mentoned earlier. I think jelly is stronger! Gave the car a good scuff up all round. Gave the lock a clean up to as it was looking dull. Then i had some lunch and enjoyed the rays. Had some house music going on in...

Yours doesn't need this though as yours is always fresh! Yours also has half my mileage if I remember correctly? I'm on 128k.

Mate, stop insulting yourself. We can do that for you! Yeah i know. I am gutted as i wanted it to be its 1st outing but it doesnt look likely. Im currently using the farmers barn for storage for free so i cant moan really! Im looking forward to a catch up too! Soz mate! I never planned on...

Skills.

Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to make CSF this year in this. With another job happening after work (farmers father passed away and he's car is getting painted before the sale), I think Will will be rushed to do both. As I mentioned above, I'm not skilled enough so will need to have he's...

They should colour coded.

Bonnet, front bumper and washer blanks all primered. All degreased, and then i put some etch primer on the bonnet and some plastic primer on the bumper and blanks. Pretty happy with the outcome, considering ive only picked up the gun a few times. (Maybe a bit more but not a lot.) In fact, it was...

And hide this beautiful feature of a face? No way Pedro. You know that, fam.

I'm not! I'm not going for the show car look and it will still be used daily so I don't want to start doing bits that will make this car something I don't want it to be, if you know what I mean.

Yes I hope so. I love this little car so happy to put the time in..... most of the time! I hope so mate. It's always been clean for it's age and mileage but will look loads better with the fresh paint. Brillant madness? I know. I've been wanting to get "that shot" since I've spoken to the...
