Looks good. Much better with anthracite Speedlines than the standard R27 wheels.

 

[Chris197F1]

yeah they are a nice touch, I have ordered a Renault Sport badge as they removed it when correcting the bodywork and didnt put it back (at there cost by the way, no way I was paying lol) and they have saved me a job by debadging the 'clio' ha ha

Looks awesome!! Really nice car.

 

[Steve Murr]

nice car-

The lights must have been retro fitted-

S

 

[Chris197F1]

^ how come?

 

[Crezzy]

Fit! Yea the anthracite make it. Change your internal bulbs to LEDs too kid.

 

[Chris197F1]

internal? as in the one above your head? lol. If so why?

 

[Crezzy]

Yea! Make's the car look x10 in my opinion (at night atleast). Same bulbs as the reg/side lights.. Should be 501 LED's. Stops the car looking like it's full of candles

 

[Willis]

Looking good Chris. Leave the boot bare, makes them look super chunky.

 

[Steve Murr]

^ how come?

No headlight washers fitted in the bumper....

S

 

[Chris197F1]

do they need washers? Sorry im not clued up lol

 

[Steve Murr]

If you have Xenons Standard the bumper comes with Headlight washers-

MOTs are getting strict now- Im not sure if it passes or not-??

IIRC face your wall or garage in the dark, turn the car & lights on-
THey are self levelling-

IIRC they dont self level then they are retro fitted- .... I think I cant remember-

Steve

 

[Chris197F1]

hmm interesting then. It passed an MOT in December, thats all I know Steve

 

[Steve Murr]

no worries

Lovely colour- See if the lights go up & down when you turn them on

[withoutabix]

[Chris197F1]

so I have projectors with cornering lights then? I wouldnt know as I havent frove in the dark yet lol

 

[BenW]

Yep, projectors with cornering lights. No washers means no xenons unless an aftermarket kit has been added.

 

[Chris197F1]

Thanks for clearing that up Ben.

Will do a project thread next week as I have a few things in the pipeline
