Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

look what came from reno today

1*2 cup spoiler brand new from france with new brake light for £150 inc vat (discounted rate)
the plan now is to smooth the washer jet hole and just paint the 172 rear bumper and get a stealth back box. im going to get a streamline carbon rear trim when funds permit.
heres 2 pics with the lights on dipped and full beam.... im sure someone asked for pics with them on?

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

I hate you, your ph1 is basically where I want my car to be in terms of so many things:

How clean it is
How nice the paint work is
How low it is
The fact its colour coded
It has 182 seats

Nice car so far man, well played

As for your plans, love the cutting out the bottom grille idea, looks great!

[Struggler]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (in the works)

wow nice comments thank you!

did that oil filter fit correctly??

ive got what looks like the same engine as yours, but these oil filters dont fit mine at all?

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)

straight on mate, ive got the 1.2 8v is that what yours is?

 

[Struggler]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)

mines a 1.2 8v also, every time i go euro or autocarparts and ask for an oil filter, give my reg and they plonk that infront of me,

mine has a re-useable outer case, and you change the filter paper inside,

would think it may be somethings been changed in its life, but renault always give me the right one lol.

strange.

 

[tommy g]

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)

Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (172 kit plus smoothing)

bonnet doesn't look good smoothed in my opinon mate, theres nothing there to break it up and looks odd.

other mods sound good, if only I had the money to spend lol.
