Metallic red is a good choice especially for me as it was the colour of the Corgi Mini Marcos. That Renault colour stands out especially in sunshine, mine is the mk3in Rover nightfire red. :-)

yes, Tony modded the hubs, I assume they've been returned to standard now as he sold it with the Revolutions back on.

Well after what feels like many many many hours one half of the floor pan has been rubbed down, seams smoothed, a few chips repaired and stone chipped. For some reason the front arches had been undersealed! It's bloody fibreglass argh.

Any way I'm pretty happy with the finish.

Very smart. The underseal protected the gelcoat and reduced noise from debris hitting the arches.

The underside of your car looks better than the topside of mine.
