do renault still do the following for 5 GTT's?

Front Wings
Bonnet
Doors
Rear Quarters
Boot

im picking up a rolling shell up here needing a LOT of work, and want to get as many replacement parts from new (and OE) rather than have to rely on ill fitting Hadrians Panels....

if anyone can let me know asap as i'd like to have this car back to as good as new as i can.

cheers

front wings are still readily available, even if the dealers say they are not
front slam panels are on back order from france
front inner wings available so are the inner wing panels

I bought two wings about a week ago, in stock still but they are campus ones (no side repeater hole) easy enough to adjust, think they were £31 inc vat each but we do get a good discount, shouldnt be far from that tho.

just a quick question off topic, without the indicator in the wing is that m.o.t passable because id like to smooth mine and loose the indicators.

It will depend mainly on the mot tester, im sure when i read the testers hand book there was a cut of date to when it became legal requierment (1987 iirc) can any one confirm this? or am i talking crap again?

Also on the wing front, I have experienced and seen others say just cos there oe doesn't mean perfect fit. They can be a bugger to get lining up sometimes too. I got 1 brand new and 1 mint second hand and the second hand one fitted much better than the new one.

Any idea on part number for that inner wing panel? Mine is rotten drivers side and was gonna get a m8 to make something up but if i can get the whole panel and cut what i need that might be better? Also any pics of what that area covers? Its the bottom bit i need but wondering how far up it goes if that makes sense?

ive got a number for a guy up in renault, who.........wait for it..........................remembers what 5's/9/11/21 etc look like not like 99% of the new parts teams on your local dealerships phone!:eek:

i'll get a part listing number, prices etc for them all from the guy and see what he can do to get all the details for it all folks.
