Holland has a 19 less so to speak.
check the pictures on http://prive.etict.nl/schade
The story in english cus my website item is in dutch:
Some stupid $#%$& in a dark car came towards me on a road just a car wide. A turn was coming up. I drove about 30miles an hour but he drove like 60 or 70. I had to evade him cus he didn't bodge at all so i went in to the road side. Problem... i was entering the corner with 2 wheels on the grass on the road side so braking wasn't an option but i lost the back and hit a tree with the side of the car. Most anoying thing is the %#@$%*#ucker drove away.
Positive thing is I already got another 19 which i am building up now. Because the other old one isn't fixable. At the moment i am selling the old 19 in parts. |

It must have been a metal issue I reckon for it to give a clean break like that.
The bolts should have went first really. |

just out of interest, the dashboard switches . . are they the ph2 or the later ph3 type ?
if they are the ph3 type i'll have those off ya
bad pic i know but u should be able to see the ph3 type are of a rounder design than the ph1/ph2 switches |

Yeah it's pretty damn ugly like that! For the arm to break i have got a simple explanation: The side of the car hit the tree at the B pillar then the car moved forward during the impact hitting the wheel where the sideskirt ends which put an enormous amount of power on the length of the arm which made it snap like a lucifer. Further the arm is in perfect state it's a nice clean cut no signs of metal fatigue or something like that. The mounting to the cars frame is completely torn as you can see on the lower pics with the carpet removed.
@Wicked Neo: I have those switches indeed but i already have a plan for them! I am gonna use them in a project of mine sorry.
@Addie: The front seats are so perfect I had them custom made like that by a mate (works at a seat clother(or whatever you call that  )) I'll put some better pics of the seats up soon if you like. They cost me like 175 pounds for both seats and they sit much better now! Completely done in the original styling apart of it being real leather  When i have got some money again he'll do my steering wheel, the headrests, my armrest and a new gearstick bag all in the same leather Very smooth and i love the smell of leather in the car 
The team1916v and renaulttuningclub members in holland all love the seats hehehe |
