If you got split pins, they look to thin to me to be converted, but I have seen Bob at CGB sells replacement bolt kits which prob easier option.
Scrap that, I was wrong, it's Mike at GTSpares. -

EDIT, for some reason the web site doesn't want to take to correct page on the link.
Just click on "Doors etc" on the left side of the page.
Cheers so are they just bot on then? If so that's easy seems too easy lol
I guess so from looking at the picture, but saying that, I don't think that will be the case with trying to make sure they are perfectly lined up when shutting the door. May take some messing about to get in the right place, but if yours are that bad then look like a good beef'd up addition.
Yes they will convert. Remove pins, drill the hinge on the bodyshell and fit the top hat inserts, then fit the torx screw. Your door hinge will need to be threaded to allow the torx pin to tighten in to it. So if you have pinned doors they may be an issue unless you can cut the same thread to them?
If you have pinned doors the hinges can be cut of them and you should find two or three behind where the bolt on hinges that Renault sell can be fitted. Cutting the hinge off the door can be tricky though as space is tight to cut the weld.
