€200 of beer, that's the new shocks knackered then!
Glad you had a good time. Car looks great!
Can't see any stone chips on that front bumper Mes....

We knew our trip to Belgium would be a good test for the ride quality. Our usual route to our friend's brewery is via some really TERRIBLE parts of the N8 and generally the roads around where he lives are in a pretty poor state. Basically the roads are built in slabs that aren't perfectly flat so every few metres you fall onto the next slab. CRAP.
Suspension coped REALLY well. Yes, it's bloody stiff, but I think it generally rides better than the AST set up on the BMW. Next time I know I'll think about winding them back a bit though but only because I know those roads are bad.
Bottom line, still VERY happy.

It coped admirably being the booze slag for the weekend!Glad that you had a good weekend away Mes - what a car for a booze cruise
Fit a hell of a lot in there and it still felt like it was handling it well too Thanks Jimmy.
Grazie mille Ben! And no, half Fosters and half 4X... and a pointy stick to poke myself in the eye with each time I even think about drinking oneBellissimo! What beer did you bring back mate? Fosters or Carling?
We could go lower mate! It's set for handling though, not looks.Still too much arch gap
Where's my Gueuze????
Tried to get a quick flyby vid at the weekend but got completely ruined by two tractors. Oh the irony...And yep, we got a case of gueuze. And some Orval. And some Rodenbach Alexander.
Really really good mate. Still thrilled with it all. The car made a perfect companion for a fantastic weekend. Seemed to go down well with the locals too. They all drive grey or black cars around there, don't think they've ever seen anything so BLUE!
Hope you're having a fun holiday mate.Thanks a lot John mate. New shocks coped admirably to be fair!€200 of beer, that's the new shocks knackered then!
Ha, she's as bad as me Ben! But to be fair to Renault, their paint seems really resilient to stone chips. There are a few but nothing like what I'd expect given the age of the car.Can't see any stone chips on that front bumper Mes....

Thanks boss! Still buzzing like mad off them. They really change in the light too. Sometimes they look almost black, sometimes brown, gold, anthracite... the finish on them is really great.
Thanks Peter. We're really happy with it too. Nice and low but there was no consideration to looks, I just told Sean how I wanted it set up and that's how it sits. Pleased you like it mate.that second photo ...
car sits perfectly.

Looks lovely mate
Thanks a lot mate. As I've said above, the stance wasn't considered at all, it was set up for handling. It's just a happy bonus that it sits so nice really. But I really do like it.

Nice one mate. Really love 'em. Was a bit of a jump into the unknown on the colour but really glad we did.
