    Replacing Gear Shift Knob on Clio 3 – Tips or Compatibility Advice?

    Renault use a lot of friction to hold the gearknob on. Brute force is needed. In regards to replacements, most of the owners on here have mk2 clios so can't comment on quality of replacements. Looking on ebay they all the seem to be the same design. The Cliosport forums should be able to...

    Advice on refurb

    Are those wheel nut covers Nick? I'm on the lookout for a set of wheel nuts or covers that match the wheels really well.

    Advice on refurb

    The paint colour code is Ixell 205-110. They are painted by the way, there are no powder coat colours that are an exact match. Originally the wheels had a speedline sticker under the gloss coat. Although Speedline don't offer replacement stickers anymore there is a seller on ebay that offers...

    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.

    Just bought this one. A bargain compared to the rest of the parts I bought this week.

    Thanks Marc. Will order the part for a Dacia Sandero as the local delear says it's NLA on the clio. 🤦‍♂️

    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...

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

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    @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.

    I waited four months for my splitter but it was worth it. Thanks Ed, will start spending the pennies.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    The previous owners haven't taken the best care of #256 and she's a looker from 20ft nowadays. I would call her country lane battle ready now. Being brutal and completely open, these are the problems with #256. - six shades of red now - two or three dubious touch up resprays - every panel has...

    That's my thinking as well. It fills me with dread to think what they rollout as satisfactory work.

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    I just got a £1500 quote and it scares me, I still can't work out why or how it's that cheap. The quote is the same as the others and they've confirmed they will; - A full glass out respray. - dents pulled and skimmed - Bumpers, aerial, badges, side skirts and door side trims removed. - front...

    Review of my trophy restoration parts list

    All quotes are for a glass out full respray with three coats of 2k paint. The 3k quote is for two layers of water based paint, 2 layers of clear and a plastic type paint to bring the colour back to the plastic trim. I'm dubious of the 3k quote as it's so cheap. The underneath will be done...
