Definitely not a sticker. Some kind of transfer applied on top of the lacquer that literally fades with time and washing, you can just about see them on my original set. Best bet would be Speedline but there is no chance they would supply as there is a chance they would end up on a non Speedline...

I believe that the sill protector is just glued on and in the absence of a replacement careful removal has to be an option? I’m sure I read a post on here somewhere of someone who had those door shut stickers copied/replaced.

The cars originally came with a little kit with a couple of cars of the fluid, I still have mine under the front seat though I suspect the cans are now likely to make an even bigger mess than they did even when new. I bought a spare original Speedline Corse and wheel very early on and put it in...

Lovely idea, but contrary to almost everything Renault have done over the last few years. They are also very late to the party in terms of recognising their own legacy and the impact that may have, other manufacturers have been doing it for years. Also, what garage/service centre are going to...

Ah yes, I had forgotten about the cd, I have to admit I always thought it was a bit after thought. Ed and Nick, my picture makes the finish look darker than it was but would be interesting to know what finish they were given.

Agree with Ed, I think i saw this a while back(?) it is just something someone copied and pasted together. The only "brochure" as such was a one page press release sheet from renault with the Alonso/Fisichella photo. I think bare metal is the wrong choice of words (sorry Ed) They were not...

Neither my balls or my pockets are that big, unfortunately. 😁

£300 (and more it seems) is an amazing result, Ed Nick you really should be very proud of yourselves. Really good job.

Ah, I had been looking at those and wondering if/how that lettering could be removed. Thank you for the steer, I shall stay way from those.

Really? "Tatty", "a 99k car", the inference that it has been clocked. There are lots of clues if you look at the picture that it is an honest car the "looks" like it would need very little to make it very very nice. I must resist the urge to really start laying in. It has been off the road for...

I was going to reply to some of the comments, especially of the FB page but suspect I would make few friends so I will keep my mouth shut and just be the grumpy old fart in the corner.

Mine was a Masters car. I picked it up from that very garage, they had seven or eight stored in the rear of the building. It does have a few issues but someone with the right amount of cash is going to get a nice motor.

To all those earlier disparaging comments. I’m sorry you’re wrong, just look at that….. To be fair, although they got the rear looking almost perfect, the front kit is just not quite right.

I was hoping to get some pictures over of the first Trophy meet but they are on a laptop with a very dodgy hard drive and I really need someone who knows what they are doing to rescue them and ten years of other pics. Probably not good enough anyway.

New mattress today so everything under the bed has to come out and be cleaned and of course opened and re examined. There can’t be too many of these with the original cars?

Indeed, I have no idea what he is now doing but suspect the “downsizing” might be a tell. Not sure he will ever completely hang up the spanner’s. How the car is set and preferred is always going to personal, l love the orb, if I remember you hated it 😉 but In terms of optimum handling he was...

There is a chap of the FB page canvassing for a possible group buy of the Mark Fish spring package. Probably a big ask with the appearance of the Grams version but they are arguably the ultimate Trophy spring setup. 😁

Totally with you there, I caught myself looking at them in a sort of Homer “Mmmm donuts” kind of way, despite the fact that I have more sets than i will probably ever need.

Little strong for me and I suspect, for most others as well...

No. I won’t bore you but got let down and finding someone to take it was one of this weeks (I’m off) jobs but I really would win a gold medal for procrastination. Meanwhile the list of jobs gets longer……………. Lots and lots, rear bumper held on by a couple of screws at the moment. 😛

Sorry guys, did you think it was going to be something else 😉

I think that was a bit cheap. Lots of work done and foundations of a nice car. Just needs a little more to push it over the line.

Talk the talk, walk the walk. Sorry 🙄

At £8k with that much spent under its belt that would an absolute bargain and probably even at £10 but it seems to be a buyers market at the mo and if you are wanting +12k it is going to have to walk the walk as well as talk the walk.

Ah okay, my nosey around will have to wait.

489 seems to have disappeared from the listings now??

You would have to disappointed with that having spent £5k. Outwardly that is going to good on someone’s drive but…………..

I think Mike256 was looking for a set.

`mc45, if you use the Getechniq restorer, C4 I think, you will get a lot of the original colour back on the ones you have.
