Hehe that’ll be going soon my friend, once the car is mot’d and taxed it’ll be taking a trip to the bodyshop to get cut welded and sprayed! White is best! Very Happy

I agree, white is best, my boy 16 going on21 wants the bottom half (up to the grey line) in Williams blue, ok for him, but i have to drive it to work.
Soon as i get a bit of spare time i'll cut out the rust and mig in some new metal. Brushed in some "kill Rust" for now.
Right, now the question....The plastic/rubber mouldings round the door glass, the rotten ones! where and how much, any idea?
Still have no battery's for camera... must remember....senial....

The window surrounds are about 300 quid for a full set from renault!!

If they were decent money they'd sell hundreds!

I think everyone who owns a r19 thats six years old or over will have window surrounds on thier list of "things i would really like to get" i know mines are frier tucked, in fact ive just let a better set than mine go ( havent i george ) but £300 thats just rickydoodlearse they geezers at renault should all be wearing masks.

they pull off.

On 5 doors the back door vertical bit that holds the 1/4 light in rusts under the rubber. Take it out, clean it up de-rust then paint it and put the cleaned rubber back on, looks perfect and will be totally flat again.

The rubbers around the window and the sill bit are a pain to not bend.
