Random rusty screw and fastener replacement
Got new ones of the correct type from Renault, plus spire clips etc

Fyi they will rust in a few weeks!

Not with the liberal coating of spray grease l put on them!
I am used to this kind of thing, l drive a Defender!
Anyway it took the originals 14 years to get to that state so it’s good for another few years now.
Also the wrong screws were fitted in some places like the front of the sill covers and the wheel arch liners where they attach to the front wings.
So it’s nice to get it looking right.
It’s the little things that make the difference.

I believe these are the correct stainless bolts for the arch liners etc - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292245348364 - No10, 1"
Mine are arriving tomorrow so i'll let you know then. That's if you want to go that route.

I just ordered them from Renault, l guess stainless steel replacements would last longer.
