    Parts aren't that hard to find, I think the main issue is when people add the Renault 5 tax on top... It's just expensive when s**t goes wrong 🫣

    Had a nice visit from @Con.SW yesterday, showing me his new RB The one side of the Clio looking very faded... sad face Maybe hard to tell on these pics, but you can see from the wing how bad it is I took it back home to give it a wash... Looking much better now all the green shite is off it!

    Yes mate, it looked like they were just welding over the top of the rotten metal and hiding the rust that way... either way, I'm glad it's sorted now :)
