hi, got me an r5 a couple weeks ago, it has a RTOC tax disc holder so someone might know it......
not the best looking but its solid, got it like this

since then ive put a oem bumper on

slightly different white but once i find a grille and bonnet im hoping to paint it over the winter.
also lowered the front today -35mm (no pics yet) but think it might need more but itll do till i get coilovers at some point
unsure of spoiler as yet......
it has the 1.7turbo volvo engine in, which isnt bad but standard so thatll change over time, also new wheels and exhaust en route so hope to have them on through the week, then next is a fmic, then ll see how funds go and what my options are.

just waiting on the mrs bringin my brand new oem grill round, then fit that and my new valeo yellow fogs.
t25 will be fitted at the weekend :)
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
Seats look great. should be a better seating position in the 5, the worst thing about the megane was the seating position... far too high.
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
Agreed, love the seats :agree:
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
theyre not as low as the 480 seats were but feels better for driving. drivers seat is height adjustable :)

Looking sweet - welcome to the club.
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
Seats are looking ace :agree:
was there much modding required to get them in?

Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
As above, the seats are awesome! I can see a "trend" coming on for fitting more modern Renault sport seats into fives;)
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
liking those seats in there!

drilled new holes for the runners to fit and that was it :D
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
Welcome! Nice motor which will get even better by the looks of it.
There a guy here inNL who custom fitted a 172 rear bench into his 5.
He pulled the fabric and foam off and cut/tailored it to fit the gtt's metal frame.
Lot's of work but the result is great!
I'll see if can find some pics
Btw, i have some 197 seats for my 5 but really want recaro sportsters!
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
Well done :agree: looks fantastic :D now all you need is to get the side airbags working..... first 5 with a euro ncap rating :wasntme:
Re: new member with new(1st) r5gtt
that rear bench looks perfect, although I don't see the point in it being there with a full cage installed :scratch:
Must weigh a fair bit..
