I've highlighted my response to you.
 
LOL. maybe when youre finished dressing like a girl, you can try rubbing some glittery lip gloss on them to give them sparkles?

What are you on about??

Why would I rip it apart? Its been taken apart to paint it. Then it gets put back together. Then its finished. This isn't a massive project. Its not even a big one.

It will be finished by 11pm Thursday 2nd of August. Ga-ron-fcuking-tee.

Alright wind your neck in. I said that with your other mk1 project in mind so I hadn't completely lost my marbles.

Once you start spending big moneys it can be easy to get carried away as u see on here so many times.

The respray is a good move for sure.

The other 'project' will never be finished, That car will be with me until I die. Its a part of the family!
 
Great to see a valver being returned to former glory. Miss my Williams and valver. Will have another Williams one day for sure. Awesome cars

And money... Its literally like pouring it down the drain. I reckon by the time its finished it will owe me over £2500.

Don't worry mate when I got my 182 fixed the bill was £2700

I almost fainted. Didn't matter though as I love it.

P.s this Naples is amazing
 
Nice! Is this one of the ones I linked up on facebook a few weeks/months back? Still tempted by one of these for a bit.
 
Good work, Fatty.

I wanted one of these so badly when I first got a Clio. Had it all planned that I'd get one after a year. Had to be Naples. Then I just couldn't find a decent one. Got impatient and bought a 106. Fail. Lol.
 
Looking forward to seeing it at CSS, naples when its mint (rather than the now standard issue patchy pink) is a great colour for a mk1.
 
Agreed... only total idiots do this.........lol

BTW where the hell you gt roof trims for £54 a side as RPD could no longer get stock of these from france?...Fortunatly ive managed to get some pretty mint omnes off a poverty spec car with no curling fading etc etc... new clips and jobs a goodun lol

They're on Renault Back order. The dealership I used to work for can get them in 11 days - 2 weeks.
 
My painter has just spoken to me and he's had a cancellation.... Its being painted tomorrow.... :D

I'm going down to flat and polish it friday morning then start putting it back together.
 
I'm a bit gutted I couldn't get down there tomorrow morning to get some pics of it in primer.

I'll see what I can do.

No mate. I'll get CSS out of the way then i'll probably advertise it. If I don't get what I want for it then i'll gladly keep it, its not going to de value. My only concern is not having anywhere to store it as I don't really want it parked outside after spending £££ getting it painted.
