Awesome colour.
Think I've only seen a handful that shade.

Re: '92 Renault 5 low and slow (For the moment)

I think the fact that it is so basic thats saved it. The GTT's bodykit and the side plastics fitted to other 5's are pretty terrible water traps,that and the micron thin paint doesn't help :) Saying that, I must walk around it twice a day and the slightest mark gets touched in.Strange really,as I ha...
