Raider N'08 Stealth Grey

Righty...

I thought i would start a project thread for my 2012 Stealth Grey Raider it is number 8 it has the rs moniter and i brought it with 12600 miles on the clock, unfortunately it seems it wasnt very well looked after from the previous owner but i plan to change that as the 2nd owner.<br>

Heres the day i picked up with my old st next to it

After having the car for just 5 days with around 17 miles driving covered since i got it back from the garage unfortunately a idiot in a van pulled infront of me which ended up with this left from it.

Since then it has been very well repaired from a local garage close to where i live and now it sits how it should with my personalised plate on it.

I then brought some Recaro seat covers, Hel Braided Lines & Motul Racing Brake fluid off J_gadd4 user off here which i got fitted at my local Renault specialists

Future Mods

Renualtsport Mats
Steering Wheel Trim
Scorpion Exhaust (non resonated/Resonated undecided as of yet)

Thats it for now folks!

These look really good in grey, your very unlucky to have some one pull out in front of you. Glad it got fix thou. What made you go against the grain and sell the fiesta?

Yeah i felt pretty unlucky when it happened but hey all repaired now so all good. To be honest im more of a renaultsport enthusiast and i thought the st was a great car but i missed the renaultsport buzz these cars give you and changed because i came across this rare raider.

it is nice to own something a little bit different i think. there are so many fiesta st on the road where as i havent seen a raider on the road.

Loving the steering wheel insert scott

That is lush, very very nice. Did you have a new bumper installed or was the original item repaired ? Steering wheel insert is a nice touch.
