I have recently started sorting my 5 out to get back on the road. Its not been started since 2005 so it should be fun BUT..........
I got underneath it today and noticed it has neons on it!!!What was I thinking when I fitted those??lol
Anyone else made any silly mistakes with their 5's?
Buying this one and not a solid one
Putting a mint phase 1 interior in a 5 and selling it for peanuts! Utter plonker
fitting a clutch plate the wrong way round and not realising until i drove it.

, pre-midlife crisis...
Its funny how I am changing most stuff back to oe on it now!! lol..
Do you want a pic of the rank neons before they come off????
yep, pic of them turned on.
Sparkie - Did that ruin the clutch I guess??
I am not sure the neons even work....i hope they dont
But i will have a look tomorrow and try to get a pic...and after that they will def be going in the bin
sell them to me, then i can fit them to somones car whilst they sleep.
Liam, I know you said you'd dropped some clangers mate but fitting neons has to be the biggest of them all!!!
Hope you've fit the new alloys.... how are they looking??
Car.crash - you can have the neons for free if u like
I fitted the alloys today Craig, they look ace thanks. But like you say, the neons are awful. They will def be gone soon. Along with the amp and sub in my boot

What colour are the neons? I had green neons on my old kitted up mondeo....
I actually dont mind neons, never see them now days... Think i have my old kit in the garage... Wouldnt see the harm in fitting them on the 5 for a laugh one day
the springs in the centre plate ground a groove into the flywheel bolts. i turned it around and it was fine . lol
Paid £1200 for third party insurance on one back in 1992, my current one costs me £90 comprehensive with agreed value
Buy it!
New poster! (less than 10 posts)
Fiting neons to someons car would be the best prank! Driving round and not knowing... hahahah
Sold it
Sold it
I once filled my car with 75kgs of sand
i had a 5 at 17 and had it sprayed up in mg yellow (ALI G STYLE)
last time i seen it it was on ebay for £600 F625 JHA.
anyone seen it
not getting one,until 2 years ago
Not putting in gearbox oil after fitting new engine
i had neons on my 5 only took them off as the garage where i get mot broke 1 so only have 3 and i dont drive much at night so they didnt get much useage
When I was 18 I had a mate with a mint g plate tungy with 70k bald tyres, needed a service and he could cover the insurance again.. Offered it to be for £800, I said no
i not only put in clutch plate the wrong way, dropped a tappet nut into the engine and ran it so the rod jumped out the front of the block, or backfired it till it dropped a valve... but i also built this....

That's definitely a 'stupid' thing to do to a 5 (although it did look like it was done to a good standard), but at least it wasn't a gt turbo
The most stupid thing I've ever done on a 5 is to modify my old white 5. I bought it in 2000, as a 2 owner, full Renault history, completely oe minter. Then I ruined it
Mine would have to be going sideways for 50 meters or so then into a telegraph pole then a wall!
Also being charged £649 by a local garage to adjust the torsion bar and fit new rear shocks! They definatly saw me coming

Penfold - if I remember correctly they were the ones that could change colour!!lol
