I'd have to agree with Rob. Sewing up seats after an airbag has gone off not only looks f**king s**t, but is stupid. So many breakers of these cars, there will be a seat near you its guaranteed.
Don't even get me started on that funnel.
Was trying to be a tight b*****d and drove around everywhere to find a cheap funnel and some hosing but nowhere had any decent sized ones. So I ended up back where I started in halfords paying 6 quid for a funnel 😧 Oh well, worked good.

Cheers Dan. My updates are slightly more boring compared to some :smile: Fingers crossed I will be yeah. Wanted track time but don't know if it's still available? Was planning on getting tickets at a later date when I know where I'll be after uni.
The standard renault cat was basically a sports cat. I'm running a decat now because I like the sound with my exhaust system as otherwise it's purely induction. You may struggle with db on track with a decat and scorpion catback although I'm not sure sorry.
For your cat it's probably the fitting kit. Get a genuine one from renault, fairly expensive for what you get but worth it. You'll probably find the olive joint needs siliconing up too.
I'd get red rear polybush exhaust mounts and renault do a red uprated centre one for about £7 quid...
After chopping up my old cup spoiler brake light and fitting an LED strip, i got fed up of the brake light moving around in the spoiler as over time the plastic had gone brittle and cracked (The messing around with it didn't help, but i had nothing to lose as it was knackered before).
So I...
I did put an LED strip in mine. Worked great, but i had problems with the actual plastic of the brake light breaking so it didn't sit properly in the spoiler.
For the money I just bought a new genuine one from renault. Looooads better now!
Hahaha, no way!!! That's brilliant. You didn't put brake fluid in the PAS did you?
I hope your actual brake fluid reservoir hasn't dropped too low now after messing around with bleeding and stuff. How much you taken out?
My calipers have mismatched bleed nipples, (and mismatched rear calipers, as i've only replaced the one) so a bit of a pig. Had no issues bleeding my rear brakes though but came across a rounded front so just left it until i can get chance to have another go.
Looks f**king ace Dan! Have you only had to cut slightly into the front slam panel thing? I quite like them when it's removed entirely and the grille is cut like with throttle bodies. But I guess if you don't need to no need to bother!
How far do you guys open your bleed nipples? Last time i bled my brakes, it was either open a tiny amount so that only brake fluid came through the actual nipple itself but at a tiny rate so i had to proper pump like a good'n, or cracked open a tiny tiny bit more and it dripped through the...
Had a private plate change from D4HWL, which from googling comes up with a Dale Halliwell. Unless this is your mate who owns the car now?
Before that 7 years ago it had the plate X11CLT. Don't recognise it otherwise, sorry.
Thanks for all the replies.
Here are some of the photos i've taken with the camera in the past. I feel a lot of them would improve through a little editing. I do have lightroom, but have no idea how to use it properly so will follow some youtube videos.

Very flash offices and garages don't come cheap. You forget about all the overheads that these people have to pay. Yeah an independent can probably do it cheaper, but you're most likely getting poor quality parts or poor quality work.
Genuine renault parts are expensive, the labour may be...
