#31: Re: Renault Megane Coupe 2.0 16v F7R Author: shanukes, Location: Haverfordwest West WalesPosted: Wed Sep 22, 2010 4:06 pm ---- And now i introduce you Phoenix! Following mods were done to the car during the last 9 months:
Full new respray in Morello Red (new shape Ford Fiesta colour)
Satin black roof with a hint of blue tinge
Roof rails sprayed black
Black smaller diamond mesh for front end
Chrome side repeaters
Both rear arches were cut about 5mm around the edge and rust proofed (so that 25mm spacers wont cause tyres to rub on arches)
Ariel / Rear jet washer / Badges removed and smoothed
Front bottom bumper line smoothed
Front bumper fogs removed and smoothed
Rear bottom bumper line smoothed
Rear boot button circle (where key is inserted) flushed in
Front dash sprayed black
Battery compartment & under scuttle panel rust proofed and sprayed
All black plastics exterior wise sprayed black
GB pressed number plates
Bosch Aero-wipers
Richbrook sills
Richbrook Handbrake cover and gaiter
Gearknob gaiter
OMP Boss kit
After market steering wheel
LED rear number plate bulbs
Chrome Dial rings
New splitter from Renault
Two tone snail disc air horns (pair)
The paint wasn't crystal clean when the car came back from the bodyshop so i hired a professional detailor to machine polish the car to get rid of any light scratches or swirls that were caused by the bodyshop buffering after the respray. I was very happy with the result
The car looks black in the pictures as the sun had gone down, but i will get some better pictures (including the new steering wheel and black dash) in the sun in the week to show the real colour
All opinions good and bad welcome.
