you will need parts to repair it (obviously)
mot
V.I.C (vehicle inspection check) about 36pounds iirc
apply for log book
tax
its pretty simple, just the dates/times for the vic check can mean waiting. best to book it while you are still repairing the car.
I would ask around first to find someone to do it rather than go to a garage.
the springs come in different sizes. i think (in my opinion) you should look at lowering it 40mm.
I think you have 15's.
30-40mm should be fine. the one thing you WILL need to buy is springs. these range from 60-120pounds.
TO DO IT YOURSELF
you need clamps
socket set
jack (preferabley axle stands)
spanners
possibly allen key set
Garage would usually charge 100+ to do it dependent on...
Demon tweeks, ebay, k-tec (or anyother renault spares place) will all do the parts you need.
Depending on your budget and how low you would like to go (bearing in mind you may want to change to bigger alloys at some point)
Either way you need to buy the new lower suspesions set up. i.e springs/springs and shocks or coilovers.
to do it yourself you will need 2 spring clamps, jack & axle stands, a socket set and some other basic tools.
