So that's it, all up to date. Shamelessly and lazily copied from my project thread on 200net, so apologies if the timeline seems compacted. This has been over a period of months so far, but was easier to post this way. :cool: Next updates will be splitter fitting, major service with belts and a...

Fitted all the 200 Cup strips tonight, I ordered a spare driver's side strip to replace one that @Plummer had painted for his own car. Looks so good now... and will be back on the road tomorrow! RS plates test fitted too.

Yeah, I'm over the moon with the finished interior now and relieved that it turned out exactly how I wanted it to. Aside from a few tweaks like painting my vents (not decided on colour) and sorting the Safety Devices cage later this summer, it's mostly done, interior wise now. Next up it's...

So this happened.

Pretty belts. :sunglasses: It's going to look SO good. In this:

Seats have been once again delayed by Corbeau. Now looking at May 15th for shipment. Almost two and a half months after ordering... :sleeping: A few extras turned up today, ready for the track/summer season: Renaultsport trackday/show plates 2x Recaro resistor kits Red RS seatbelts...

Small update, as still no seats. 😧 I sent back my OMP subframes and changed them for Sparco ones, as the OMP's sat too low for me. I've also sourced some red seatbelts from a lad on RS197.200, so they'll be in the post this week! Chuffed with that! They'll really finish off the...

Decent sized update this weekend, finally! My retrimmed parts arrived from Jack at Royal on Friday, so after work I cracked on with installing them. Everything went back together really easily aside from the gaiter. The OE gaiter is stables to the (very flimsy) silver plastic surround which...

OH HI. Blown away by the quality of Jack's work. It's unreal. Can't wait to get them all fitted tonight and go for a dri... oh. 😞

Received my Ultra Racing rear brace yesterday and confirmation that my big delivery from Royal will be tomorrow. Fitted the new subframes last night. Perfect fit. Excited isn't the word. I've also borrowed a Pole Position from a friend so I'll be fitting that on Sunday and finally go for a...

Finally completed my set of 200 Cup plastic sidestrips to fit. Some people aren't a fan, since it's a FF and I'm technically downgrading it, but I like the look of them. Also waiting for a small black lip spoiler for the back. Thoughts? Apologies for the poor quality Instagram image.

A bit more progress last night... little and often! Bigger updates coming once all my new parts arrive. Arrived home from work to see the results of the weekend's detailing session. The car wasn't corrected because the paint is generally in great condition, it was more about depth and...

Small update from last night. I finally cleaned my silver seat belts using the method that Giles wrote on here. It worked a treat! Lovely silver belts once again, all ready for the new seats. I also removed the plastic A pillar covers and retrimmed them in dark grey 9001 Alcantara. A million...

A small update. A few weekends ago I decided to clear my scuttle drains, since they'd never been cleared before and they car's now five years old. It proved to be a good decision! The offside drain was completely blocked and had a few inches of pooled water at the top of the turret. Everything...

I thought that I'd start a build/progress thread for the car, rather than potentially posting small, incremental updates as and when. I'll try to keep everything updated, from maintenance and experiences, to mods past, present and any future plans. So. Here we go. I've owned the car from new...

I'll copy across my project thread from 200net today, rather than keep updating this thread.

I delayed that project for a bit mate; these belts and a few other bits came up for sale instead. I've had basically all the interior plastics out now though, so when I do get a set I'll know what I'm doing at least.

I'll get details for you later dude. I think I've found where they're from.

Cheers Mike. Is that fixed now?

Small update over the weekend. (I might just copy my progress/build thread from 200net if people cba reading it?) I fitted my Ange et Demon style red seatbelts, which IMO complete the interior now. Still waiting for my seats to arrive, but should have a temp solution for the Pole Position this...

Crystal clear. Nice one.

There are a few little interior mods still to fit this BH weekend. Some red door pulls, GT3RS style and actually handy on a FF 200, as the handles are way too far forwards. Anyone who owns a FF will know what I mean. I also have a spare RS Monitor binnacle and spare air vent surrounds, but I'm...

You can for the Renaultsport models that count. Shots fired.

PS4/PSS for road AD08R as a hybrid road/track tyre R888R/AO48 for track

197: I'd go for the RS one. Looks great. 200: Maxton Designs do one which looks okay and there's a facelift Focus ST one that looks good. Both are fibreglass though so not the most durable. I've bought a Rhino Lip for mine. Just a durable rubber lip that I'll eventually get fitted.

Amazing build. Jealous of the brakes more than anything! :cool:

Hmm. Okay. I'm still not sold. They just seem a lot of money for an average sounding system. I'm more likely to go Oreca.

This is probably the best option!

Hmm. I'll try and find someone with one. I like rasp though, but the Akra sounds very bassy and dull. Hence looking at the Oreca.
