Here ya go mate... Very nice car you've got mate, only need a few bits done as said.

Sorry :( Can't get paint just primer, If you've not used it take it back and I could mail you some of these???

Hey mate, I could have made you one of these easy enough but I used up all my wire the other day like a plank. I can take you some pics a little later and post them up, but without taking the light out you can't see that much. Where abouts are you from mate? No one local to help you??

Kneel I can get tins of primer for £1.20 if you want some? Dont know how much it'd cost me to post but it'd be a good way of staying on budget. Can get grey white or black. EDIT: oh and if you could get yourself a sanding attatchement for a drill (can be got in a variety of sizes) then you...

Great pics mate, was good to meet everyone and to get and sit and have a decent chat/laugh. Bringing a bloody jumper/coat next time!!!!!

Colour coding on yours looks epic, you have it done or do it yourself? Ph2 side strips are the way forward, is one of my mods, not too many left now. May have to colour code around the fogs that arrive later this week too, looks bang on.

I can never seem to get a set! From a member? Will look so much better when on!

I was hoping for some progress mate, sad its just banter :( get making some changes and posting some pics. :D

What you've done so far mate sounds good, dual optics are a good shout if you haven't got them already. Fogs also update the front end nicely. (got mine coming this week) As for ideas, my project thread shows every update I've done to the car, but here's my most recent pics. Mods include...

Uxbridge and back, and lots more, you'd be suprised!

Did this just the other week mate after popping a drive shaft by accident. Yes it needs that much, a local motor factors should be cheaper, to fill it up I'd advise using a piece of hose or tube, but sometimes the bottle has a little hose thing on it, To get to the filler cap it was a bit of a...

Off to wash ze motor, dunno if i can be bothered to SRP it before I leave though....

Ok.... the switches are not after market, I know this as the car has been in my family for its entire life. The switches were fit by renault, but as my car is a very early Ph1 I can only assume my great uncle requested electric windows and renault just shoved them in. Getting motors from any...

Glad to see your ok mate, seems the car kept you reasonably safe considering. Read this proper late last night but I was only on my phone with low battery so didnt reply. You going to be breaking it? (had to ask)

PLEASE HELP After buying some ph1 172 door cards and fitting them I have come accross a serious problem. The ph1 172 switches did not fit as my electric windows seem like an after thought. These are the switches in question You can even see (from the back) where the door card has been hacked...

Sanded, painted and done. Very happy with them now :) Had a serious switch fail today... Darren off here came down to try and help me but.... It seems motors in the doors work in a totally different way to those in all other mk2's. There is no "up" or "down" wire, but one wire which has the...

Wow thanks mate, that's pretty helpful, as you seem to know your stuff any chace I could drive to you and enlist your assistance? Know it's a bot cheeky but I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a lot for doing the pics!

Unfortunately the marks in the lacquer were very servere, just tried sanding it now, couldnt get the marks in the lacquer out before going right down to the paint and even a touch to the primer. Will be giving it one last coat of paint tmrw and then a good few coats of lacquer as soon as it...

Cheers mate, yeah for exterior parts I try to let things harden for as long as possible. But these being interior I don't think it'll be too bad putting them on after a day on the rad. Better do ;) Cheers mate, after 3 years of ownership I'm finally getting it looking how I want...

Much love :-)

Aluco, if it's not too much to ask, as you've got a ph1 an chance you could un-do your drivers handle and just take a few pics of where the switches connect to the loom? Just making sure I can see what way around the switch is. If you could that'd be awesome.

None of the switches fit mate, its just my car being a half breed of random parts renault found lying around. I just need to know which pins the two bigger "power" wires are attatched to. Daniel, they're not slippers, just black plimsoles and a blurry photo. I'm 21 years young :)

I. Love. You. Hope it works...

Could cry right about now... Just finished off the handles (lacquer), was 100% sure they were dry and massively happy with them, wrapped them in microfibers to bring round to my house from my other houses garage (so they could harden), and the passenger one has just smudged to f**k around the...

No one???? Someone fancy undoing their door handle tmrw and taking a picture of where the wires go???

If anyone happens to have their door cards off at the moment or have had them off recently could you answer me this simple question.... Which of these 6 pins does the live/earth (or positive/negative i dont know) go to? It should be easily identifiable as there are two wires that run to the...

Maybe something to consider when I find a job that pays alright, cheers for the info mate, really appreciated. May be able to sort a second hand compressor off an ex mechanic/painter so that could make it cheaper :) Would using one gun not be possible? If I had no intention of painting/priming...

Not meaning to thread-jack (and this my help the OP) but.... How much can a gun and compressor be picked up for reasonably? I'm a pretty good painter with rattle cans and know all about prep work etc but tbh with my funds I'd be looking as cheap as possible, only used to do bits and pieces...

Really nice pics mate, wish I lived over there :(

Real s**tter that mate, I'm not sure what you mean about the old people thing, but you could get two of these made up in vinyl... (one for either side so it matches) I think i know someone who could make them up very easily so if you measured it I could get it done for the cost of a stamp...
