Been following this project - well done. Looks awesome.

Another one saved from the perils of rust and grime.

saw this at mod nats this weekend, looked fresh.. but... do somthing with that sill.. letting it down in that picture.

[Alan]

looks great.
+1 with the sill though

[rew]

When u say sill you mean exhaust? As it runs down side of car under the sill and its now been painted black and It's getting a full stainless system on next week hopefully

[Pigsnake]

Love this car looks awesome.

[Sparkie]

i gotta point summat out (- you are missing the black strip on either side of the car )



take a careful look between the sill and the bottom of the door at these cars:

or even this picture of mine.

So I am, wasn't on the car when I bought it was that a later addition because mine was one of the earliest and did have g5 stickers on the side when I bought it, also the sills are supposed to be black but body colour looks better your 5 looks nice where u based?

[Trevhib]

No no! Don't go anywhere near Sparkie! If his luck rubs off on you it'll mean continual bottom end rebuilds from now on!



Those side decals really make a difference, very cool

Is there also a chrome strip for the front grille area or did that not come on your model? Maybe the sill strips and the grille strip are part of the same kit?? On the white car in Sparkie's link the side strip is black. On the black car the side and front strips are chrome.

Look at the seats in that black R5 Alpine, they look awesome! I love the light brown window tints on the old 5's

[Sparkie]

should be black gutter rails, black sill strip, black grill bars, black windscreen surround strips on the gordini turbo.
as mine is technically a le car 2 turbo, mine should be chromed all round instead. - and only 1 bar of the grill strip black (then again i should have colour coded bumpers and above light grills too....i preferred black)

im in tipton matey. - near dudley

[Trevhib]

What are the different models?

- Gordini na
- Gordini Turbo
- Alpine na
- Alpine Turbo
- LeCar2 na
- LeCar2 Turbo

Are there any others? It's all a bit confusing

[Sparkie]

Alpine (French) = Gordini (UK)
Alpine Turbo (French) = Gordini Turbo (UK)
Laureate Turbo (French)= Le Car 2 Turbo (UK)

Le Car was just normal model in the UK, a gimmick basically.

Ah, all becomes clear Thanks Mark.
