I plan to have the door handles, bullets and diamonds done the same colour as the wheels, just to keep things uniform. But first, I just want to finish my seats! I started yesterday evening but ran out of light, will hopefully finish this evening.

A little over £15! But I think it needs it. I worked at a Renault dealer years ago, around the time these came out so I'm just trying to get mine how I remember them 10 years ago, only they don't wear that well so it's taking a bit of work! Putting my own take on a few things of course. Looking forward to seeing it done

£15! Mind me asking where?

Just my local Renault dealer. I think that's the general RRP for these.

The only pictures I've got of my seats at the minute


I've glued some strips of foam to the actual seats where the bolster wears through, just to slow it down a bit in future. It might not do anything but worth a try! Surely it's got more material to wear through this way.
I hope to have these finished this evening, or at least some more pictures.

Finally!!! I put the seat covers back on this evening and I'm so happy with the result. Ok so I know it's not a fancy re-trim but I just wanted it back to how it should be and the damaged panels have been replaced.



New mats! I think these look great and match the steering wheel nicely. These photos were taken when it was getting dark and the flash was on so the colours look a bit off.


Nice mint interior now!

Had to take it for a quick spin after doing this, god I missed this car! Nearly 3 weeks since I drove it last!

Looks well that! Like the mats too

Lovely looking R27, only a couple of things letting it down.... I'm off to order an Elf decal from the dealers!

 

[Shane_R27]

Gave the car a bit of a clean and applied my new decal. Really finishes the back end off.

What's your polish/LSP combo out of interest? Looking great, massive improvement since you bought it.

That's the first time I've polished it since I bought it. This was a polymer polish I get from my trade supplier. It's crying out for a machine polish when you look under artificial lighting though. I'll get round to doing that soon. Cheers for noticing though!

LY is such a great colour. Bet it turns heads! I use Swissvax which gives mine a nice glow.

When I was polishing it today it just amazed me how different it looks in different lights, such a nice colour. Yes it does get a bit of attention! How do you find the Swissvax lasts? Or doesn't it see the elements? I've tried Carnauba waxes in the past and they give an amazing shine but I found it didn't last that long

 

[LOCKE]

The LY R27 never really moves to be honest, although the RB 182 is my daily but only a handful of miles a day. I been full circle with polish and protection but always came back to Swissvax. I will do a full deep clean every 6 months on the 182 and top up every month with Mirage, maybe OTT but a little goes a long way and the dirt falls off with a pre wash foam.

your car is a beautiful example of perfection...keep it up...

Im not colour bias or anything though!
