What paint did you use for the trim? Considering doing mine after finishing the external ones.
Any further on that washer blank? 

it is Rover Stone Grey, meant to be a very close match to the Turini

Mikeyjp · Oct 14, 2015

As for the washer blank, i thought you were going to grab a new 3d printed one instead, will check tomorrow which side i have sapre

Car went in today for camber tweak, and get the exhaust sensors cleaned off and swapped over, as i am having on going problem a cat emissions error, so if this does not work, i will replace both the sensors. Not had chance to take the car out for a good drive yet, had it set to 1.5 and 10 mins

it also came with one of these, do not think the T came fitted with them, but the fit behind the upper grill, acts as a splash guard for the belts, i already got one from ebay a few months back, so will be selling the spare at some point(not the one pictured)

Mine never came with one of these and like you i bought one second hand for about £5.00
As said by Mikey these protect the Aux Belt and the Alt from water and other stuff.

Im not even going to say how much renault want for one of these as it will make you sick.
