That does look wrong, I always thought that the tips extended beyond the bumper and found this, pretty sure this is a scorpion.

I still have the original two can kit under the passenger seat but I doubt very much if they are still viable and not sure I would ever actually use, I have always carried a spare wheel since I sliced open the side wall going around a corner a little too close.

Will not be there for long I’m sure.
I use mostly Auto Finesse stuff, because I have for years. I use this and the pad version for washing.

I also have the earlier versions of this and they are crazy thick...
Three exhaust on the Porsche? I’m going to plead ignorance and the fact I have covid so my brain is only functioning on one brain cell but………………
Looks a lovely evening though.
Hey folks, yes I am still here. I’ve been ill for a while now and in and out of hospital. But, think I’ve turned a corner now so all good.
So Stefán, though all my plans for the year have completely gone out of the window the Orb is absolutely staying 😁
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...
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. 😁
