    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    Ultimately it down to cost and they can make a higher return by using the storage space on newer car parts. The mould may worn with age and it was deemed to expensive to repair. Alternatively, it was determined making a viable run isn't achieving the profit margins they require once you factor...

    I wish, would of probably bought them for the hoard. Kam Racing have the passenger side one in stock and I just got lucky with finding someone selling a new set they didn't need anymore.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    This is a first for myself, I've been asked to pay £45 in taxes for buying two €35 badges from the Oreca group. After some delayed responses, Oreca has confirmed they don't collect VAT on behalf of the UK government and they declared the value correctly. Never had to pay import VAT for Oreca...

    Latest brake pad recommendations?

    I got two techs to do the brake fluid change so didn't face any air issues. The RBF660 just works and I have not boil the fluid on a track day or a spirited country lane adventure.

    Latest brake pad recommendations?

    I went with yellow stuff pads and RBF 660 fluid as I do a few track days. So far they have great bite from the get go, no brake dust and they just get stronger the hotter they get. Apart from the long bed in process I'm not sure why they don't get recommended. I would suggest blue stuff pads...

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    Does anyone have access to the renault part numbers database? Trying to find the original rear view mirror part number, I think it's 7700413867. A Spanish based dealer has told me a mk2/3 Trafic mirror is the same mirror.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    I just checked my Oreca account and I previously purchased six centre caps. Will need to look for them in the parts hoard. I've already replaced the bumper and arch fittings with marine grade torx screws. To finish off an expensive adventure, I have secured a full set of new old stock arch...

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    They were on back order with the manufacturer. I'm guessing they waited for enough orders to trigger the next manufacturing run.

    @NickReilly063 - I remember you posting on Facebook the wheel colour code. I can't find the post now, could you remind me what the colour is? Going to get the alloys refurbed at the same time.
