I just thought it’s a cheap ish respray in Trophy Red - I’d just want to pay extra for the glass removing rather than masking up for a better finish.
So what's included at this price?
For a vehicle in the Twingo / Clio size range
- Panels off
- Basic rust treatment
- Basic dent repair
-...
I thought about a new front screen but my mate Ed @photo_ed said not to bother as it’s in great condition
Everything does add up quickly though in the quest for perfection - My resto has cost me just over 8k which I think is realistic - but that also includes paying £2350 for a complete set of...
I started my mission with a 1 owner original never painted shit tip, but after £800 of paint made the bodywork look like this - the original paintwork on these things are quite amazing.
Both rear quarters painted ( windows out) along with the bonnet, both bumpers side sills and door handles-...
I think you are going to genuinely knock it out of the park when it’s all comes together.
It does get under your skin though doesn’t it but when finished you can look back and say wow.
I had mine out the other week and it still makes me smile 😊 😊
Another thing I was going to mention Peter that makes another massive difference and definitely lifts the front end are a set of new front fogs lights - but how much Now - and what a price difference between KAM and RPD...
If you are painting your front bumper you will need the below stickers to finish the job off.
You can get Renualt ones but they are a fortune for the same thing.
Great list Mike -
However sometimes it's just the little bits that give the best results - these screws make a massive difference in my view.

Also don't forget to order the front black bumper stickers - deffo one of my favourites - link works below to...
This sounds like it's going to be Epic when it's finished Peter, so I'll look forward to your progress with this.
Have you also thought about ordering the stickers that go by the drivers door striker, I'd seen that there is a tread on here as to where you can order them if not already.
I’ll look forward to seeing No238 come to the market - great pedigree with 32000 miles and only 2 owners.
I’ll echo what Ed has said above - Pistonheads could now be the new CC however we will see later on this week when No500 comes to an end.
The issue with CC’s is the new commission...
Trophy makes the list again with a great write-up 🚗 🏆 ❤️

I think if it was me in need I'd snap Ed's hand off at £622 for a new unit - then send my other side for refurb to make a pair if BG are confident they have the parts, with them not having the body's make's the above seem more like a bargin though - also could you imagine If these where full...
Hi James
What type of hangers are you using ???? I changed my original ones for black grams to get a bit more stability and a little more lift.
Ed is the expert though and I'm sure he'll be along shortly with his vast knowledge :):):)
We do make the list 🚗🏆❤️ -

Stunning Ed and like Mark has said …. What a great 2025 we have been treated to from No.407 ….. hibernation now till 2026 sounds good in keeping it looking tip top, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a sneaky peek 👀 on a lovely day 😍😍😍
£9000 and finishes in 2hrs -

Wow Mike that looks like a fair bit to add on - at over 5k for a 128k car that needs repairing definitely looks a night out to me, and that’s before taking into account that it is on the register and needs a front set of Sach’s.
I’d love to know others thoughts on this ???
Looking on the Facebook post regarding this, someone has put it sold at £3950 today, having near used this site I'm not sure what cost's are added on to checkout ????
Does anyone know -
This article tells you the differance Francis - £2500 more than the standard RB5 due to increased bhp - 215 to 237bhp - Short Shift box - Rear wing - aircon.

Yes most where standard things as they were all nearly new -
Do you know if it’s a PPP car as they had 237 bhp - the rear wing is a tell tale sign to say it is however a few put them on as aftermarket -
I mostly bought P1’s and they had loads of different options
I’d love to find a...
£31995 after a 60k restoration - I'm glad it's not me telling the Wife that there's no 2025/26 holidays :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Stunning thing though...
