proving liability for that sort of damage would be a nightmare, tbh best to suck it up and just get the thing recut and lacquered at own cost really. for sake of 100 quid its not worth it, life's too short
Another couple of purchases made, trying to get the control surfaces back up to scratch and after 150k+ miles both stalks are worn, so found some nos ones and did a buy.
That's me matey :cool: was down Birmingham for work. And cheers, she's not bad still from a decent distance, were you in a none Renault and nodded at me?
refitted the orange side repeaters to match the oe bulbs in the new headlights along with some nightbreaker bulbs
acquired a set of mk1 clio speedline maracana's from @Dr Jekyll 's mate and fitted my spare set of AD08R tyres too them, they are actually for the mk1 red track car, however...
F1's definitely suite the car better, but the Maracanã are a much much prettier wheel so I am torn...….. they're technically for the red track car anyway but couldn't resist a go on oddy too.

Mick sourced a new unit...
nice bit of progress, any up close pics of the painted scuttle etc? always wondered about painting mine but worried it'll look exactly like that, painted. which I don't want it needs to still look plastic finish
literally the only thing we want poverty spec models for are the window trims which although commanding a premium not quite at a grand a side yet, flol!
great work, just read beginning to end! can't believe the amount of corrosion for a 47k car though! there is less on my 218k one!
caught it just in time though to prevent need for major cut out repairs so good stuff and lick of paint and she'll look a treat!
