He was legally obliged . Really nice guy actually. I felt a right thief as he wrote his car off before ever fitting them!!!!
Update.... ive sent my 26r steering wheel off today for a re-trim. I sent it to snappy (the same bloke that did steves). He said about 10 days to complete. I'll post pics when I get it back. Also after having a good look under the bonnet I found out it has a forge actuator & blanking plate. I'm taking it that at some point it may have had a stage 2 map but it is now on a standard map & has a oem intercooler. I have a forge cooler in the garage ready to fit when the paintwork is done.
I've been like a r26r magpie for the last year..... Anything shiny is in my garage. The only thing I don't have is the front door cards. Lee
Not much of an update but I collected these today. they are the decals from inside the drivers door shut. I've had to remove mine because of the colour change. Lee
Well she is all stripped down & ready to go to the paint shop on Monday morning. i found a couple of little problems whilst I was stripping it down like the drivers side door loom is knackered& I have a couple of cracked arch liners ect but nothing too major. Lee
A bit of an update. The car is back from the paint shop. all painted in Nimbus Gray also so I collected these from ads yesterday & what should have been a pair of R26R headlights but only one was there. Never mind the other should be here in a week. Now comes the hard bit of putting it back together again. Lee
NIMBUS BABY! Looks a good job, who did the work? Actually don't put that bumper on - send it to me I still can't decide if a Trophy would look ridiculous on red .R wheels - don't sticker it up until you've got some snaps!
the body shop next to my office did the paintwork. They are quite well known for cheap jobs but can turn out quality jobs too. I did all the prep & the masking. I have 2 bumpers & that way I always have a spare painted up ready to go on . I will ill post some pics for you before I put the decals on. Lee
Yeah they did but looks like only 4 for the UK, I think pre write-offs there were more R26.Rs in Nimbus in the UK http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/heritage/
My steering wheel has arrived back today. All freshly trimmed. it was originally a genuine r26r steering wheel but all the alacantara had worn out. Lee
It is similar Steve. I didn't want perf leather I wanted Nappa the same as my m3. I also wanted red stitching. My car is nearly complete now. I'm waiting on a headlight & my coilovers & she is finished. Lee
I've had to keep at it or it will get pushed to the back of the workshop like the Orange one did. Lee
I bet. I think you are sneaking in under the radar as I haven't seen your car at work for a few weeks
Looks excellent. Snappy did my last one. Jack at royal has mine at the moment along with my gear gaitor and knob.
