Default 928 Trivia

The Renault Alpine a610 Turbo uses the same in bumper driving light lens as the 87 to 95 928 cars.

Very interesting, Roger!
Who would be selling parts these days for the Renault Alpine a610 Turbo?

Huh, I knew not of this car. Very interesting, and quite French. I love it.

The last road going Alpine before the current A110.
The new A110 is a great little car

I think these Renault's are the bomb. We have one in my town Umeå here in sweden. I have seen it a couple of times in the summer. It's much lower than what you expect also...
Here's one "half A610" and a bit tuned but nice though...

From that angle it looks kind of like a Pantera

Ha! Cool!

We learn new things every day!

I had never heard of the Renault A610 Turbo, and am surprised by the entire platform of a big rear engined turbo coupe. They were built between 1991 & 1994... Not sure how many?

Is it exactly the same?? The @Roger100 pix seems to have a small bulb at the far left hand side. The french frequently used a yellow 'citie light' on their cars of that era. Just curious, as there seems to be this small difference.

I was specifically referring to the actual lens. Not the casing or bulb holders. Though the Renault group say they are the same as the ROW complete light assembly. Some have yellow lens but that was dropped by the French years ago.

Aha, that's why it looked different to all that I've seen! I've never had a ROW car!

And, Roger DID SAY 'lens'. Poor reading skills with my old eyes and brain. Sorry.

Finally! A cheap readily available source for these lenses. Haha! I’m just messing around. Why can’t these reuse parts show up on one of the million cutlass supremes that were built?
