    Another restoration - some help needed

    Hi all, I bought my W2 in 2011 and have been enjoying it since (I used to own a 16v when I was younger so this was the natural progression!). Anyway, the time finally came to get all the crusty bits sorted, see picture below. It should be ready in a few weeks and has had new arches, sills sorted, boot floor sorted, bumper mounts fabricated, front inner arches dealt with, front slam panel bits sorted etc etc. it's being primed now for a full re-spray. Typically I've ended up getting everything done whilst it is in bits so that it will be totally sound and mint when finished. I could do with some new fog lamps and can't find them for sale anymore, any suggestions?

    you can still buy the fog lights from Renault. But they only stock one side now - but you can swap the housings over to make a left and right pair

    That brings back memories.........my trouble was the people I used are anal and every bit they found they wanted to do....but as you say it's better to bite the bullet and just get it done rather than doing half a job!

    Its great eat to see it all coming together towards the end though

    That's great thanks, just emailed and will see what reply I get, otherwise I'll phone.

    I have another question, there's a bit of plastic on the drivers window glass that I think guides the window up and down (basically stops it from dropping forwards when the window goes down). Apologies for sounding like a bit of an idiot but I don't know what it's called so I can't call anyone to order one (if they are available of course)....the one on the driver glass on my car is broken and it's very annoying that I have to hold the glass in position so it doesn't drop forwards.

    Thanks.

    Dont think that its a part that you can order, may be easier to buy a replacement glass from Matt Brown on this forum or find him under Clio Specialist on Face book 👍

    you can get those clips separately.. I managed to get a couple a year or so back.. whether they still available or not is a different matter.. they are pop riveted on to the window.. ill try and find the part number for you

    this is what it is.. double check the size and the vehicle list.. it says this fits...

    I got mine from Renault.. window guide clips..

    this clips stays in the runner and as lee is experiencing when it broken the windows doesn't always go up and down straight without some intervention via a hand..
