Cheers mate. Am very happy with it. When I replace the discs and calipers soon, it’ll look better on the centres 👌

Couple more

Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Got a lot of inspiration from your old one which imo is the best I’ve seen. Still got bits to go, she’s definitely a keeper !

Some quick, crap pics.

Off to the tyre place in the 182 van to get them fitted.

Yeah public sector pay is shite! It’s also generally a safe haven for people who are beyond useless at their jobs. Not as bad if you’re a contractor though. Standard nhs, put up so much tape nobody can do anything. Circumnavigate the tape you put in by getting consultants in to get s**t done...

I contracted for the nhs for a bit. Their IT estate is astonishingly bad

Got the car back. Looks tremendous as always from my paint guy. Hopefully weather will improve over the weekend and I’ll give it a good clean etc and take some pics. The amount of thumbs up/looks/ comments these rb’s get is astonishing. People love them!

What colours have people had their half cages in their rb’s I have white wheels…. Any pics would be cool

Black rubber things

One headlight down.

Yeah, basically the same issues here mate. I am not pissed over the whole thing, it's a 54 plate car after all and I enjoy being its caretaker... But it is frustrating some peoples idea of workmanship! I'm not going for concourse, but the general aim is solid, tidy and usable.

Yeah, rest of the car is okay thankfully. I am looking to get the whole car corrected and Ceramic coated. Again, whoever did the previous coating didn't really prep the paint properly and it's basically... also s**t. So will be getting done again, properly.

I must have been very lucky!

Was during a previous owners ownership mate, so not sure. But the other body shop has basically just filled the rust holes with filler and fibreglass...

Whoever sprayed this previously wants stringing up!! Not only was it bodged, it was also the wrong colour 😅 there’s only one racing blue ffs. And the panels weren’t aligned properly. Anyway. It’ll look great when it’s done and I’ll sleep better at night knowing it’s done properly. #OCD

Renault have them in stock 😳

Been a bit quiet on this thread. Things have been ticking along in the back end. Car is currently at my friends having the front end sprayed. Turned out whoever previously sprayed the bonnet had bodged the living s**t out of it. I'll get some pics, but basically filling rusty holes with...

Sad isn't it.

London is an absolute nightmare these days. I refuse to go there anymore. Worked up there for a number of years, it really is a mess.

I've always had new cars really. Pretty much every year or 2. That is coming to an end now though. I am keeping cars a lot longer and am not really looking at anything new. Some of the used cars are absolute bargains in comparison to new ones that I don't even like. As said, modern cars suck ass.

Done it up with 30" breaker bar :ROFLMAO:

Spacer definitely in behind the disc... and the right way round....?

Car manufactures have lost their way imo. There’s barely a new or recent model I can think of from any manufacture that I’d actually want to buy. Seems to be the same for many from what discussions Ive had/have heard. Everything is bloated and looks pretty samey. Numb driving experience.

Renault the manufacture that will sell you a wishbone for one side of the car, but not the other. Have f**king bonnets in stock for a 20 year old hatchback 😅

Have spent a few quid on this thing ffs 😂

Primer. But when you consider a tidy second hand one is £150-£180 and the chances of finding a mint rb bonnet is slim. So I’m likely still spraying whatever I end up with Plus my mate who paints for me is over the moon as he hasn’t got to attempt to repair someone else’s enormous bodge job
