Iv had my Renault for nearly a year now, 5s have always been my favourite car but iv never found one clean enuf to buy.
Iv done quite a bit of work to it for how long iv ownd, iv had a new passanger door/ full passanger paint work, both side skirts painted, new bumper strips, painted/de-wiperd boot, 13" speedline wheels powdercoated/Clio turbines powdercoated, 3" a.a.s exhaust outrolld tip, 300mil omp wheel, phase 2 rs turbo seats/back seats are trimd in the same rs turbo material, apex shocks/apex 50mil springs, mintex pads/new oe disks (thinking about 4pots) Red samco/sfs hoses, ktec carb top, gt tuning rocket cover/oil cap/degassing chamber/header tank and turbo heat sheild, group n clutch, new leads, plugs, several oil changes/filter, new starter motor, omp strut brace, gt double capacity intercooler, t25 turbo, 2 1/2 down pipe, braided oil cooler pipes, cup mod, carb re-rejetted for 18psi. Also my B20ENJ number plate I had on my c2 which took a while because the dvla took agers to return my log book!
Think that's everything so far, seems like a lot when I look at the list! Anyway
here are some pics so far
auto glym interior shampo works well on carpets
omp steering wheel
I no the rear wiper is oe but I just like the subtle look of having it with out one, on most cars it looks better I think
before
after
refurbed the speedlines (at romax)
degreaced the arches, then seald them
before
after
took agers to be able to put my plate on

iv always wanted a set of turbines! These were in pritty good condition concidering they were refurbished 7 years ago! They came up well after I billberry'd them
poorboys is quality. Smells lush aswell lol
the turbines needed refurbing because they were corroding so thought I'd go for the silver, give it the oe+ look
a.a.s 3" outrolled
iv always loved recaro seats, so when I seen these for sale I went to see them and bought them, there in good condition, also the rear seats had been trimd in the same material
apex shocks/apex 50mil springs
i did plan to keep the engine oe, but I also like the "bling look" my hoses needed replacing and there was some for sale so thought I'd get them and buy a few other things to tidy up the bay, I stil mite go back to the oe look
before
after
t2 turbo next to the t25
put the apex shocks and springs on a few days before French car show, in previous pictures the front was just 35mil so there's a subtle drop now which I'm happy with, mebys get coilovers next year
It's still an on going project and I plan to do a lot more to get it as pristine as I can, thanks for looking.
