New poster! (less than 10 posts)
This is my return to an R5 after a break of 10 years and I think is my 7th GTT
I bought this a few weeks ago from a breaker near Birmingham as a Cat C due to it having a damaged front bumper and cross member. Not a bad example and appears quite clean. The HPI info ties up with the 81K showing on the clock but who knows?? Has anyone owned it previously?
I have started to take it to bits as the bumper in the pics has been fitted but the repair work underneath not carried out yet. I have purchased most bits and am about to set to it with a grinder to replace below - (thanks to CGB and Mike @ GT Turbo spares and a very helpful young lad at the local Renault dealers)
New OE inner wings
New cross member
Replacement inner arches
New OE bonnet
New bumper strips
Orange indicators
New O/S wing
New OE front bumper
Replacement yellow fogs
Replacement rear clusters
Replacement door cards
New Grill
Most of the above could probably be patched and straightened but I am just being picky
The car is going back to standard so the lights and spoiler have been removed and sold (and sent to Italy) – I will post some more pics with my progress
The bumper in the pics will be up for sale soon as well – it does have a fibreglass repair to the lower N/S
