Renault 6 are R 118 (more precisely R 1180 for 6 L, R 1181 6 L/TL and R 1189 for cars made out of France). I think it can be changed quickly. At least in the database, maybe not in the habits of some admins that could be strongly used to this "X18" code? 
For the R12, 300 of them (among 527) are identified as "X17"(1). Which seems not possible, as it was only for Romanian Dacia 1300/1310, and we don't have 300 pictures of this car
. For Dacia only, the code should be:
According to the proposed table, the R12 should be at least "R 117", or:
R 1170/TL for 12 / TL,
R 1171 for 12 Break,
R 1173 for 12 Gordini,
R 1177 for 12 TS,
R 1172, R 1174, R 1178, R 1179 for 12 Export,
and six or seven more possibilities with the "R 133" special code for (Break, Estate, Familiar, Kombi, Stasjonsvogn, Station Wagon, Stationcar, SW) models. Oh, and don't forget R 2360 code, used by the "R12 Break Société"...
With detailed denomination, we need extra-freak admins knowing R1179 (R1339 for breaks/SW) are export R12 made in Turkey and able to search the good ones among the 527 "generic" R12. Ok, it seems some admins went already berserk are already experts on this matter
Just for helping, my little contribution for R1179 models . And this one should be a 1339, not a 1330.
Or maybe it's easier to keep it all all of the R12 as single R 117?
Even export cars (the R12 was made in Australia, South Africa, Argentina, Canada, Ivory Coast, Spain, Ireland, Madagascar, Morocco, Portugal, Romania and Turkey!) should so "reintegrate" the great R12 family.
Post 1980 cars don't have such a precise chassis name although they could (cf. following note). So for now it's a precise name for older cars, and a generic one for the recent ones? IMHO, "short" chassis/project name everywhere would avoid a lot of mistakes (but not all(2)).
(1): In fact, it seems all recent Renaults have been identified by an "X" in the IMCDb, which doesn't really fit the Renault nomenclature, as "X" means only "validated project". But I understand it could be messy to separate B64, D64, E64, F64, J64, J64, L64 and S64 for a Megane I...
(2): ex: The Z10 concept car's name was Koleos, with a K like for the later coming SUV
- The model code of the normal Koleos should be X45, with the "X habit".
- And a Megane II is (X,B,C,E,G,S,K,L,J,R)84, not Z84 .

. For Dacia only, the code should be:- R117/R133 for the 1969-1980 models, i.e before the code change that occurred in 1980;
- X17 for 1980-1999 models;
- X75 for models made after Renault bought Dacia in 1999 (the last 1309 pickup was manufactured in December 2006).
According to the proposed table, the R12 should be at least "R 117", or:
