Nice little update :)
So first things first, massive thanks to guysy I managed to pop the headlamp ball joint back together, doing this also made me notice the headlamp leveller shaft had been unwound so far it wasn't actually attached to the motor anymore, so two little fixes that took a very...
Thanks buddy, great little guide :)
I had already noticed it was the little ball joint in the centre of the headlight that had popped off, just didnt want to force it and break it and didnt know weather it was indeed a ball joint you could just pop back on or if something had broken on it :) I...
Yes mate there will be pictures up when i have fitted them :) for reference if you need it the part number is 8200082370 they are not handed so just order 2 of them, around £27 inc VAT from my local dealer for the pair.
Regards the damper dust covers you need to read more carefully instead of...
Yeah it does need a standard rear bumper, it is next on the shopping list when i have some spare cash, when the stupid cut out is gone the Oreca won't look half as daft sitting under the bumper, i will adjust it so it sits tight up to the bottom of the bumper and all will be well. And you would...

Apply waterproof masking tape to protect surrounding areas

Its gone now though! I have been putting a lot of investigation into...

I'm too good to you ;)
On a serious note its easy, four M6 bolts (10mm Socket) and about 10 Torx screws, and don't be afraid to pull hard to pop the clips :)
There is a guide on here mate, a quick breakdown is use waterproof masking tape all around the headlight on the car body work (Wing, bonnet & bumper) so you dont accidently catch anything, wet and dry with 1200 until a smooth even finish is acheived, repeat with 1500, get some meguires scratch x...
Update Part 2
Yesterday (Saturday 13th October 2012)
I removed the front bumper, pulled out the old headlamp washers, no wonder they didnt work, offside isnt even connected up and the nearside is the one with the horrible brown water stain under it, obviously blocked and leaking. But anyway...
Update Time :clap:
Right, so since last Saturday quite a bit of progress has been made, my picture taking skills are terrible and i was a bit of a fail at taking them, was far to busy in the garage to be taking pictures all the time ;)
so Saturday:
Fitted Genuine Renault Cup Dampers

Thanks mate :) hopefully the exhaust will be fitted tomorrow, minus the decat section because its MOT time shortly, don't see the point until after the test.
hopefully it looks okay with the shitty cut out in the bumper, long term I will be sourcing a replacement bumper but its getting quite...
