welcome to the forum mate.
I must say I quite fancied that when i saw it up on PH.
Nice buy.
Are the front and rear wheels two different pairs?
Id be interested in a full set of whats on the back in the pics if youre thinking of changing them.

That pipe that goes from the inlet manifold to you brake servo needs sorting dude, its kinked, if it closes up totally you will lose all servo assist.

Hello mate welcome to the board cool little car you've got yourself there
If my memory serves me correctly from browsing the Renault forums, are you in the SE per chance for example Croydon?
If so i may well be giving you a shout for your Renault knowledge
