So not much to keep you busy then!

Let us know how you get on - and if i were you I'd make removing the amp and sub (shudder) the priority!

Happy working.

Nice to see another trophy going back to standard (or near enough) just the way it was intended to be. I like your style!

I wouldn't bother fitting LED's in interior light as they dont work.

[Kangoosport]

Ill keep an eye on this for tips when I eventually get my Trophy..

They only work when the door is open, you can't turn them on inside the cabin so pointless really in fitting. I've learnt this from me trying it.

This, glove box and boot lights work fine but the interior light has serious issues with LED bulbs, tried a few, gave up, standard bulb! TBH the LED bulbs in the boot/glove box look great but when its dark they seriously hurt my eyes..too bright!

 

[Mikeyjp]

how about the rear number plate light? was going to get a white one?

Works fine, got one on mine! I had to get a new holder though as mine was rusted to bits and all rank and yellow ,they're pretty cheap though think I got a genuine renault one for £7 on ebay

Mine work ok, although they're not as bright as standard.. Had them in for around 4 years...
