Okay, picked up Trophy 207 a couple of weeks back and today the quest began to make it like new! I'm aiming for a 100% factory-fresh look and feel and after not really getting anything much done in the past couple of weeks, progress is finally being made! Now, when I collected it, it was clear this car has been cared for by its previous owner - generally it was very clean indeed and the condition of it in general was excellent. There were still a few things to do, though, and so it has begun!
So far, I have:
*Fitted Philips Silver Vision indicator bulbs all round;
*Replaced the sidelight and brake light bulbs with new ones;
*Fitted official Renault Bosch Aerotwin wipers;
*Got a couple of small scuff marks off the underside of the front splitter;
*Replaced the passenger-side rear seatbelt clip as this was broken (well, Ren-O-Tec of Chelmsford did it - I'd have messed it up!);
*Touched-up the odd small stone chip;
*Fitted new dust caps to the wheels (old ones were a mish mash!);
*Fitted an ITG panel filter;
*Had five small parking dings removed (two on the offside door, one on the offside quarter, two on the offside quarter) by Diamond Dents; and
*Fitted new Speedline decals to each alloy (see separate thread).
Still to do includes:
*Damper refurbishment;
*Full service and cam belt change;
*Geometry setup and general mechanical health-check;
*Have a small area on the front bumper re-sprayed (seems to have been lightly knocked on something and then touched up with a brush - looks a bit dodgy on otherwise immaculate bodywork!);
*Full anorak-style detail with paint correction and all that jazz; and
*Fit the Renaultsport mat set I have in the garage once the interior has been thoroughly cleaned.
After all that I'll be done! :lol: Quite rewarding, though!
