Chatgpt says they're from a Audi A6 C5 generation (model years approximately 1997–2004) It's good to know of a suitable alternative. The 3d printed ones are a bit rough and need painting. Edit - I need to stop looking at the photos. I've nearly convinced myself of needing all the spares in my...

I was told they're the same across all 182's. Best bet is to get one from a 182 being broken.

Front dampers - £1000-1250? Rear dampers - not sure, maybe £200 for the new ones and a bit less for the used ones. 1x correct ET trophy turini - £100? 1x boxed dephaser - £120 4x genuine center caps - £60-70 2x exhaust trims - £40? 1x rear bumper trim - no idea 1x set of injectors - new £150...

I have a scorpion 192 if you need a temporary or permanent exhaust replacement.

Same as Ed when on the road and 25/26 when on the track

It's looks in better condition than those I've collected as spares. What have you cleaned or treated it with?

A misprice by Fish brother (RPD). Anyone for a 269k Renault 4? https://www.fish-bros.co.uk/renault/used-cars/?sortParams%5B0%5D%5BfieldName%5D=currentPrice&sortParams%5B0%5D%5Bdirection%5D=desc&nfcSearchVersion=1.0.0

Even for a swift sale a £5.5k price feels very low for 348. Goodluck with the sale :)

I'll take them Ed Will pick them up from the Alpine day with the other bits. :)

Reserecting a thread from its slumber. I'm struggling to find anyone to wet paint the alloys in the factory colour. This is the powdercoat match I've seen. Is this close enough to the factory colour or can I get a recommendation for a shop that can do the closet factory colour match.

Had to chase a few times via WhatsApp

Incase anyone else is interested, I enquired about the rear spoiler as I wanted one a spare for the hoard. They are after £500 for the spoiler and bootlid. It's a bit too much for me so will grab one off Oreca when I'm next over in Europe.

The renault oem battery was listed as BAT LB1 47AH 420A - 7711130087 Any 063 battery will do as they 182's don't struggle to start and it's unlikely we will fit some banging bass in the boot. I have a GSF own brand 44Ah one presently and it works perfectly.

Thanks Ed, will make the restoration a tiny bit easier.

Hi all, Before the car gets painted and while the car is being stripped I'm trying to work out how the side skirt stickers were installed by Renault. Did the factory apply them above the paint or did they fit the stickers and then lacquer over them. Mike
