Slam Panel

[Lew]

Howdy all. Getting round to sourcing some panels and bodywork bits n bobs.
Was wondering if all Clio mk1 slam panels are the same.
I see they are available from Nicedeals but not sure it will fit a W1

Cheers for advices guys

Williams are bolt in standard are weld in possibly

[Lew]

Yep, I reckon so. So all that's needed is to find someone selling a proper removable one.

anybody?

This is what mine looks like

I've got a couple floating about

[Lew]

Nice one Paddy, presume second hand? If so are either in better nick than mine?

[16v_paddy]

No idea how bad yours is but mine aren't bent if that's any good to you :lol:

They all have rust on them so will want rubbing back & painting up but that's the main reason I kept them for my various restoration projects, can supply new bonnet stay cables with 1 as well as I bought a lod to go with the collection of slam panels I've already got

[Lew]

Cheers Paddy, pic of mine already posted above. :winkey: Mine is straight but a little rusty as you say.
wouldn't mind one of your bonnet stay cables mate.

Just posted a few pics earlier in a different thread. You may be able to help me with rocker cover or clean inlet manifold?

cheers

For some reason I thought that pic was someone elses :oops: :lol:

If I was you I'd just take it off & refurb it. As for the cable, I got them from Squeak http://williamsclio.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?43959-Bonnet-Hinge-Wires

incase you wanted/need a spare

[Lew]

Yup, I figure you guys are right. It sure ain't too bad. Just thought if there was a new cheap one about.

Thanks again guys.

Mine are in the same condition tbh & I'd feel bad selling 1 to him :lol:

A new 1 would need to be painted anyway so not really any benefit to do it that way either

[katbloke]

The good thing with having spares is you can prep and paint and the fit at your leisure. I used to get fed up leaving jobs because the car was needed the next day

[Lew]

This one's a toy so need to worry about keeping up and running for daily transport.

Anybody had any experience of Lepsons Wheels? And at the risk of doing it to death, what is the paint code for w1 wheels?

Cheers y'all

I have a Lotus engineer down my road that now does restorations and accident damage, that sort of stuff.. he uses lepsons.. any idea if they have done willy wheels before? maybe worth an ask..

[katbloke]

Akzo Nobel was one manufacturer I think

I'm also about to get my wheels done, I just can't decide where to get them done. I've seen too many Willliams wheels poorly refurbished. :-k
