Prototype kit to debut at Goodwood. Production versions imminent.

Milltek Design, the premium styling, fabrication and bodywork division of Milltek Sport, is proud to announce the launch of its all-new Group-B inspired Wide Body Kit for the Renault 5 and Alpine A290 at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Channelling the vibes and design cues of the original Renault 5 Maxi, the Group B legend that won the 1985 Monte Carlo rally outright, the new Milltek kit has been designed to dramatically enhance the presence and stance of both the new Renault 5 and its performance-focused sibling, the Alpine A290. The comprehensive kit transforms the compact EV’s proportions while maintaining full compatibility with both models. The prototype kit was unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday 9th July on Milltek Design’s event stand, location 24 and 28.

Production is scheduled for Autumn 2026, with customers invited to place orders at the show for the first strictly limited-edition run of kits.

Kit Contents:

• Rear Arches
• Front Bumper Arch Sections
• Front Arch Charge Flap
• Rear Door Arch Covers
• Rear High-Level Spoiler*
• Side Skirt Aluminium Trim Kit*
• Uprated DRL Kit* **
*All these parts are available individually

The wide body kit and spoiler are fully compatible with both the Renault 5 and Alpine A290, both utilise original equipment (OE) fitting points and fasteners wherever possible for a quick and simple installation to factory standards.

Additional bodywork elements employ localised removable bonding, ensuring the entire ABS panel system can be removed without any irreversible modifications to the vehicle.

The kit has been carefully engineered to give the narrower Renault 5 and wider Alpine A290 a more aggressive stance with rally-inspired lines, delivering a cohesive, ‘OEM+’ aesthetic with significantly enhanced visual impact.

Pricing : The basic kit will sell for £2,000 + VAT
