Had a very productive day. Changed front and rear brakes and pads. Also changed front spacers from 20mm to 25mm This is the last major big change on my car. Everything else will be minor details.
The old ones were pretty rusty...

I got absolutely covered in rust. Gave the callipers a good clean with brake cleaner and blew it off with the air line. Then sprayed them black...

Please excuse the very dirty car. Will take some more photos soon, car has become noticeably wider more beefy

Other little note. I also took off my tow strap and removed the silver Renault sport stickers. Going more stealthy.

Top work so far, good stuff!

Presumably EL wire for the dash trim? I've got some in mine and it's great stuff, although it's dimmed over time :(

Thanks. And yes it's El wire. Aw that's a shame. I'll have to keep an eye on mine. Where abouts have you used it in your car??

Oil catch can appears to be nearly full, so it's working, mostly water because of condensation. But ran out of time to empty .

Will update on this.

Dials with yellow numbers instead of white.
Dial surrounds will be carbon dipped to match the other bits being done

Full de-badge on the boot.
Removed door pillars textured vinyl.
Seat recliner knobs test fit went well but being powdercoated black to suit my colour combination.

Removed gear gaiter surround, front speaker surrounds, stereo surround centre console, to drop them down the hydrodipppers on Friday

Thank you,
Going to use the same stuff I used to fit my side skirt, and cut a hole... Got to practice first tho!

I thought that'd be the case lol Very brave!

Do the dynamique S (2.0 138bhp) models have wider front wings without the vents? If so it might be worth looking into those for the 197 look to the front of the car
