Renault 5 GT Turbo
Discussion
Done a few small jobs on the 5 today:
* Fitted un-painted gutter strips (old ones were a bit knackered - had a few cracks and scrubs on them)
* Fitted standard steering wheel with paint removed, and polished boss
* Fitted parcel shelf / associated plastics
* Fitted Renault badge
* Fitted new number plates (old ones were knackered)
* Gave it a good clean

Got my standard spoiler waiting to go on too, but I need to do a few other things before I fit it

Just read the whole thread, can't work out how I missed it before though! Cracking read and the amount of work you've put in really shows. Personally I love the car and think the wheels and the colour are superb! I was chuffed to see the buckets come out and those leather ones put back in too!!
Off to the classifieds now to look at 5GTTs

very nice indeed.
I did have this up for sale on the owners club, but think I've gone off the idea a bit. My enthusiasm comes and goes
New alloys fitted... Think they break it up a bit more. It's a very modern colour, and the wheels were a bit too modern and in your face I think, so going to try and tone it down a bit.
Next jobs are:
Fit front grille badge
Fit spoiler
Fit rear badges
I'd also like a new drivers side door (current one doesn't fit very well.. a new door was used when the car was painted, but it doesn't seem to fit very well.. maybe a patent part?) but that would mean painting it, and there are a few other bits I'd like to get painted, so think I'll wait and save a bit of cash and get it all done together
First off, hats off to ya for all the hard work and giving a modern classic a new lease of life! 
I've a soft spot for R5s as I learnt to drive in one, although not a GTT sadly!
Love the OEM+ look on it, I always think that's the way to go, and the previous wheels looked fantastic on it - I am a bit partial to the look that dished and polished wheels give a car! IMHO the new wheels don't look that good on it, being obviously from another Renault.
Oh yeah, deffo a good move getting rid of the cream seats!
