  1. This smile says it all my boy loves the car 359A7039-3542-4BFE-BEA3-734AED022DB8.jpeg DF8D33D4-10CD-47D1-AE37-BB26FD83450E.jpeg FD8DFF26-F5C0-404F-B277-92E796F9CEBE.jpeg

  3. This is such a tidy car mate, you must be chuffed. Will be interested to see how you get on with the battery - my understanding is that normal alternators cannot charge a lithium battery properly.

  4. used these batteries several times never had a problem, last car was the Clio with one and that did fine even took it to Germany no problem
     
  5. I'm glad you drove the car! it can't be just investing money and then just looking ... they are excellent cars, they don't compare to a Porsche, but even so, they do a really big show!
     
  6. Battery cage finished off, stainless P clips used to hold wiring loom 9BB69914-FFF9-4699-8C35-CB323AF10298.jpeg 43B64DEF-D3BC-4963-86DC-31E11F399DC1.jpeg 79E0A55A-D5FB-4051-BC53-D8E8A620B892.jpeg C04DE02D-A44D-42D4-BA61-3C2ACE5EE1DA.jpeg
     
  7. Also flocked the dash, work in progress tho FD0E4D78-EF5D-4FB2-9CCD-91C2BEB1DCCE.jpeg 476613D6-1E75-4748-943F-19506EC351F6.jpeg

  9. Also got some genuine carbon rear spats that I put on with 3m tape but the previous owner put holes in them for rivets so I need some covers for them but for £30 can’t be bad 212DFFDB-8746-46B2-93E1-C0BEAC2C57D2.jpeg
     
  10. who makes the spats,do you know at all?
     
  11. Mega carbon but they don’t make them any more

    i think PPF looks better than a bit of carbon stick on the side of the car imo
     
  13. Yeah I know what you’re saying pal but I’m giving this a go, it can always come back off
     
  14. Did a buy! Something a little different, not everyone’s taste but I like it 4BB03AA4-90FA-478B-AF5B-A03B7E8A873E.jpeg B00F08C4-39EA-4139-AE7C-E5802AC2A4B3.jpeg 79CA1949-74BA-4360-91B6-EC26A4C9A084.jpeg FA901D41-685C-4E02-B5C2-E3900BFD746C.jpeg 2EBEEC3E-C20A-4972-96A9-7DAC93FB1A59.jpeg
     
  15. Turbo cooling duct fitted! Does it do anything really tho who knows! But does it look cool yes! DC497B92-BF70-458D-B94E-67387492608B.jpeg
     
  16. Is that a Renault item or have you had it custom made?
     
  17. it’s a genuine Renault item very rare as I’ve only seen a handful of these, bolts in all original bolt holes, but like I said not sure if it does cool the turbo much but I’m sure it will keep temps down a little in the bay

  18. Ive never seen one, was it a hot climate only extra or an option?
     
  19. looking sweet. If you take your little one out of the car you will save even more weight :wink: :smile:
     
  20. Not sure I’m still researching them tbh but think they are out of a Renault scenic with the same engine, but are hard to come by
     
  21. went for a nice drive today without the boy
     
  22. Few pics not it’s out in the sun 27AB8F4A-EA80-45B8-925E-6E08B05DDA8E.jpeg 3CB18AAF-D439-481A-A8E3-DE2A938DA344.jpeg B6624DBD-297F-4B41-805F-8F3D909123E5.jpeg

  35. Well what can I say but the Meg has been sold!
    Dream Car Giveaways took it! They came to buy the fiesta Rs but I showed them mine and then the next thing I knew they had it!
    It’s been a great project to work on and I’ll be sure to grab some tickets when they put it on Facebook but for now that’s it from me. Cheers for looking and commenting

  36. Oh man!! Sorry to read that, I really like that orange machine, you had put a lot of care in it. Anyway, is your choice. I hope the next owner put the same care than you!:wink:
     
  37. WTF!..they must have waved a big bag of gold at you
    ,as you put so much work into that car.Possibly,and probaly one of the cleanest 225`s in existence.
    I really dont know if i could have let that car go,with so much of you heart and soul in it...but each to there own choices.
