It went in to the bodyshop a few months ago and finally got it back on Sunday (1st October):
After a quick wash:

Picked up some genuine rear 3 piece mats in July from ROC 60th Anniversary autojumble in Bewl, back in June (also picked up spare body parts):

Had a spare few hours today, so cleaned the interior and then inside all the door shuts boot shuts etc, then cracked on with a quick clean under the bonnet, could probably put a few more hours into the engine bay but for the time I put in i'm pretty happy with it:

Picked up a load of 25 bits today off a chap from Renault Owners Club, came home and was planning to clean the car but weather has been on and off so used the time to sticker it up a bit :)

Well the ISO adapter, and din pocket haven't arrived yet so couldn't put my alpine head unit in, but picked these Rockford Fosgate Punch speakers up from a chap on edition38, they sound fantastic.
Installed them in the rear:

Got a few odds and sods together recently, decided against installing the alpine head unit and keeping it OEM, so added a nifty veba fm Modulator to the car, and picked up a remote control for my ipod.
Ipod RF Remote:

Installed the modulator behind the ash tray, (easy access if i want to change the frequency):

RCA to 3.5mm lead running to the glovebox:

Sorted out the sounds for the front, got some rockford fosgate FNQ 2614s for a bargain price on ebay:

Look at those cones!:

Some engineering required to the standard speaker baskets:
