That looks lovely. Making me want to get the springs redone at the same time. Going to stick with the plan to powdercoat the big bits and paint the smaller bits that will get knocked.

I'm about to send the knuckles, wishbones, anti roll bar and rear axle off for blasting, primer etching and painting. Would people go for paint or powder coating on the parts. Currently I'm leaning towards paint on the wishbones and knuckles so I can patch any chips that happen and powder...

Eventually, been ill for a few months so trying to get back on my feet first.

Can I get some pictures and how much are you looking for.

Mark put a set on here for sale recently along with his phone number. I've gone with Mark fish springs as one of my rears has lost the pig tail. The front oem springs were available from France when I looked a month or two ago for €200

I am. Think I may of secured a set but not 100% yet

For a long time I use to only buy diesel cars that had over 100k miles on them as the allure of a full service history, mainly motorway miles, a new clutch, flywheel and probably a new timing belt meant I could do another 100k miles before worrying about anything big going. On the whole I'm not...

It happens quite a lot with Japanese specialist cars. People just seem to invent prices for rare items and add scene tax to it. Saying that I have a spare bootlid already painted in Capsicum red, yours for £400.

Hella sticker and I think the renault part number. Let me know if you need anymore photos.

Not sure if there's going to be much interest but wanted to offer it on here before I put it on Facebook. Drivers side headlight with a cracked front plastic lens. Was still working when it got removed and still has the bulbs and ballasts. Will be a good headlight again if the front lend is...

Hopefully the wife doesn't see this. I ordered the cup dampers today and decided the car needed a few more bits with the money I saved compared to buying koni dampers. So I bought new dust cover bump stops for the fronts, a spare set of springs and a full set of powerflex bushes.

Thanks for everyone's help. From doing some price checking Kam racing sell oem cup dampers for £70 each and larkspeed sell koni's for £133 each.

Looks like the koni's will work. I'll have a look at renault oem dampers as well

The koni part number is 8010-1048SPORT I've not see the renault v2 sachs yet but will try and hunt down a set

My rear sachs are reaching the point were there's more oil on the outside than the inside. It doesn't look like you can get them rebuilt so what is a good alternative. I looked at koni adjustables but they marked as not for the cup models.

That's amazing news and a great turn around from when I called last week. I need to learn your super power Marc.

That is what they said to me yesterday when I rang them. Hopefully another shop maybe able to restore them going forwards

That's a real shame. There's a spare set of fronts for sale but I may reconsider and buy some highend coilovers for day to day use instead & the sachs come out for events.

Sachs have stopped making the rebuild parts.

Does anyone rebuild the rears dampers? I spoke with BG Motorsport yesterday and they don't rebuild the rears but they also informed me they can no longer get spare parts from Sachs for the fronts.

Hi Mark, Do you have anymore to spare? Would like to do a coolant flush soon

https://en.oreca-store.com/clio-ii-r-s-trophy-center-cap.html Bought a replacement set recently from oreca, from what I've been told they're cheaper than buying from Renault UK.

Before going down the aftermarket route I wanted to try my luck to see if anyone is willing to part with a set of oem unused or near new springs. I know it's a long shot so will take some advice on suitable alternatives if none exist.

Personally I would strip anything I needed so I could refresh my trophy and then look for cheap second hand parts to rebuild the dynamic so it remains on the road.

Thats good to know. It looks like the car has a sports cat and I have access to a lift so hoping I don't have to drop the exhaust.

https://a-r-pound.edan.io/ A&R Pound in Baldock is the place I was thinking of. Their website is just a holding page but would suggest visiting them if you're local as quite a bit of work on classic cars.

There's a recaro dealer who offers retrims in Enfield, North London (btrim). There's an independent seat retrimmers friends have used before in Hertfordshire that does really good work. I'll find their phone number and add it to the post.

It's looks really good. If it makes the car more special and fun for you then go for it. How long did it take to swap over the shifters? I have a PMS shifter waiting to be fitted on my trophy.

I plan to use it on a few sunny weekends and a couple of track days each year, otherwise it will be tucked away in the garage. For now, I'll just make a stack of serviceable items that I need. Apart from that I also need to find another front splitter as its already fallen off, new centre...

Guessed as much :) What if I offered a curly wurly and a packet of space invaders
