Nuts, Bolts, Screws & Clips

[MarcB]

Well after spending £107 on Nuts, Bolts, Screws & Clips my mate who is a panel beater and spray painter said he would replace them all.
All the Nuts, Bolts, Screws & Clips where for my front bumper, wheel arch liners, under tray and wings.

After getting my xenons fitted by Stevo C from the forum he informed me that most of my parts where a mix mash of cable ties, and nuts and bolts that where wrong so hence why i spent the £107 at renault.

I also got my subframe brackets fitted that i had powder coated months ago in place of the scabby ones that i had one.

While i was there i also fitted a few stickers and yes i know that a couple are well out and NOT straight in anyway but i have enough to replace them when its all been washed and its light.

This drivers bottom half of the wheel arch liner was rubbing from the wheel as it was not clipped in or attached to anything so i have now to try and get another one so i took a picture of the part number.

Like the green dustcaps! Where you get them from?

 

[MarcB]

You get green dust caps from kwik fit or anywhere else that uses nitrogen.

Rather than air i had nitrogen put in my tyres and the green dust caps indicates this.

I've got 'R V' written on my crossmember too!

Nice job, Only thing I'll say is, you've put the speedline stickers on the wrong side. They go DIRECTLY oposite the valve, not with it

 

[MarcB]

While i was putting them on i thought so much about what way they went on and i ended up convincing myself 'that it was the correct way and i went for it.

I have another 7 speedline stickers so once my wheel are all clean and sorted i will put them on the correct way

 

[Jon.G]

Should of waited/checked online!

Good job you've got some more though.

I've got 'R V' written on my crossmember too!

Me too! Thought it was a cut and shut!

 

[MarcB]

Maybe it was the guys Initials in the factory that worked on the front end LOL

 

[jesus]

Unique feature of the Trophy surely!

 

[MarcB]

Unique feature of the Trophy surely!

Must add atleast £1000 on the selling price cause as you say its a unique feature exclusive to trophy owners LOL
Shame i will never get back the £107 spent of silly plastic and metal clips and bolts . . .

 

[Jon.G]

What number is yours Marc?

Just thinking as Jamies is 41 and mine is 56. Might be something to do with who built them yes.

 

[MarcB]

Mine is 376 so the guy must have done all the 500 Uk models LOL

 

[jesus]

Mine are on the left side and more crudely written. I reckon they're on every Trophy, surely!

 

[.Stevo.C.]

My old Trophy had it too actually thinking about it. That was number 142.

 

[Feirny]

I think mine has some other letters on, and not RV.

 

[Jon.G]

Ha, This has turned somewhat strange. I really want to know what it means now.

Oh Greg, Why do you have to ruin it!

 

[Feirny]

I'll take my bumper off on wednesday to check.

 

[MarcB]

Every trophy member rushes to pop bumpers off to see what letters they have LOL

 

[Feirny]

Haha, I'm not quite that bad, my headlights need adjusting anyway.

 

[Jon.G]

Haha. Might start a thread just to see.

I bet plenty of owners won't take their bumpers off though.

 

[MatthewR]

I thought the letters were something to do with the colour? I'm sure its been checked before?

 

[Feirny]

Just to clarify, mine is RV also.

 

[Stu.]

Marc that is commitment!

and the letters are to do with colour or they not? My iceberg ph1 had 'ice' on it, and the flower had something before i painted over it. Lol

 

[Jon.G]

Someone on FB said it means Rendez-Vous, however I'm not convinced as they all have different lettering.

I assumed it was something to do with the colour too, because red in french in Rouge, no idea what the V would be though.

 

[gez 172]

When I had a 172, I had 'AA' written on the front panel.

 

[Jonathan]

I thought the letters were something to do with the colour? I'm sure its been checked before?

The french name for colour code 727, capsicum red, is Rouge Vif

 

[Jon.G]

Yep! I knew I was close! Nice one Jonathan.

 

[Feirny]

And that's the end of that chapter.

 

[MarcB]

I Wonder if this means that every Trophy and standard clio that is 727, capsicum red has RV on the impact bar.

 

[Jon.G]

I wish I had some more photos of my 1.2 that was 727. I honestly cannot remember if it had RV on it or not.
