    Haha no, that's not sad at all. It's nice to have some original features, specially on such an old car.

    The OE stereop was a Philips RDS Headunit.



    The Pioneer removable headunit was in the late spec regular Phase 2 GTT's i believe?

    Nice looking car Tommy...

    All down to choice of course but you wouldn't catch me riding around in some mint immaculate Raider with the original Philips stereo in it.....

    Yep, I agree about the engine, a bit of spit and polish and he'll be a beauty.
    One question though - Why is the GTTurbo badge in red? Blue it

    Yeah i had this trouble when i was restoring mine so i got round it...

    Get some liquid mask from a model shop together with a couple of decent paint brushes whilst you're there.

    Next stop your local motor factors for some PR449 Renault Sports Blue & Lacquer.

    Paint over the shiney face of the "Renault 5" with the liquid mask & after allowing it to harden spray the rest with your colour.

    Renault 5 Raider Badge - DONE!
