Dash strips have been sprayed. These are done in the same colour i've done my engine parts in, which is Peugeot Graphite Grey. They've come out really well, i'm very happy. They also need flatting back a tad but it'll be very fine as they look good as they are.
Its hard to capture the colour well but in some lights it looks subtle against the dash, but in other lights it really pops and breaks it up. Having a look and taking a inspiration form
@RMDavis thread, i think im going to paint my BMS shifter the same colour.
I had some stickers made up from
@LeeRS a while ago and one was this little number to break up the rev counter.
I did also paint the clock surrounds the same colour but unfortunately i knocked it into a tray of acetone that was nearby that i had some calipers soaking in from another job! Gutted as it came out great 😧 Thankfully
@cs_dave came to my rescue and is sending me out a replacement asap :smile: 2nd time round there will be NO chemicals in sight!
My driveshaft has been ordered. Got a genuine one from Renault but only for the drivers side as Renault no longer sell the passenger side 😧 We will establish this closer to the time of fitting. With this in mind, i want to do a suspension refresh. New genuine track rods have been ordered along with some Febi track rod ends. Im going to order some Febi top mounts and possibly some coilover covers this week also and hopefully fit them all this weekend.
While i was at Alex's picking up the brakes, he had a DCI that he was breaking. I spotted the dash top which was in great condition, barring a bit of mould so i nabbed this up. I've been after one for ages as mine had gone all sticky and these dont have the soft touch film to them. It also matches my recently changed non sport hazard panel.
All cleaned up, vin number swapped, and all fitted.
Once that was all done, i had some leftover paint so i thought i'd do my fuel rail guard which ive meaning to do for a while. I also decided to paint the throttle body too. The rail guard was sandblasted first, the TB wasn't, but took a brillo pad to it instead. Both was then etch primered, painted, lacquered and refitted.

Did some work on a car in storage recently so why not get the RB in for a few snaps!
RB
Also with the new dash in it means he's back...... Its Dr Jekyll! :smile: I didnt want to put him in on a sticky dash so i was waiting for a better dash to be fitted.
Im in talks/have ordered a cruise control bracket made. Once its made i'll pay and then get it sent to me. This fits around the Sablet wheel. I have ordered a all black 4 button one as i have a ph1 stalk with horn.
As you can see it fits nicely around the Sabelt. Im also in talks with snappy to get my Sabelt retrimmed. I love the wheel and wanted to do it to my old ph1 when i had one fitted. Now that they have been discontinued, it'll make this more special i think. Im going for blue alcantara top and black perforated leather all round :smile:
I thinks thats all for now!
