    Anyone near London with Leather / Alcantara Recaros? + random pish thread

    @Marsch I never saw your ‘bigger is better’ post, and clearly have skim-read this thread somewhat. I wasn’t poking fun.... More rubber: as In width with the 18’s. Presumably less sidewall profile. And that’s ride comfort.... And no you’re right. I most definitely didn’t buy my R.S. for...

    Anyone near London with Leather / Alcantara Recaros? + random pish thread

    If I bought a Clio3 with ‘those’ 18’s on; i would very likely be swapping out sharpish.... I’m not hugely into stance and wouldnt be looking to slam it for minimal arch gap, visually they are barely indistinguishable from standard 197 wheels, they are heavy; and presumably with lower profile...

    The smell. Don’t forget the smell. I love it every time I open my door. Sure. You could argue buying the seats and then getting re-trimmed is dead money on one hand: but on the other I reckon I’ve saved over £6 on air fresheners already.... BIG moves mate. And when the day comes it’s all so...

    Lifeless compared to what Mes ? Cars in its peer group; or some more serious metal you’ve owned / driven / currently have at your reside. Which to be fair ‘we’ shouldn’t be comparing against. Should we ?

    Mobile 'paint repair' limitations.....?

    ‘Perfect’ is one thing and for sure very achievable. But exactly matching paint on a 7 year old car ? Most were talking of doing bonnet and blowing in the tops of wings to match in that scenario.... And then if I wasn’t happy with that....do I then get the whole car done ? Guy who eventually...

    Suj's Nimbus Clio 197 and E36 328i Trackcar

    FFS with the wheel Suj :rage: I hate that shit. I had it last week too; with a freshly painted bonnet that had whacking stone-chip on it in the short traffic laden journey home. Its enough to make you cry........

    Shuv + Mini Shuv's other Frenchie track 'weapon'.......

    Take the humorous title with a large pinch of salt. A tarmac ripper this will not be. Alot of very cheap fun it will be.... 5.30am Sat 12th May 2018. The alarm rings abruptly and off i head for Lowestoft train station on route to Sunny Wolverhampton - rubbing my eyes to try to awaken...

    brake pads

    .....or even Mintex M1144’s as a halfway house of a worthwhile upgrade over standard without breaking the bank. Great for road use.

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    Fantastic car. Looking VERY well indeed. Love it. I’m not convinced by the ‘car is finally ready’ statement though :sunglasses: There never ‘ready’...they just continue to evolve. Superbly well in your case.....

    Big Bens non Clio

    Nice vid Ben - glad you’re a lot happier now than last track trip. I’ve missed the ‘selling up’ bit. Really ? After all the recent spends and upgrades.... Not sure why: but if you’re after a change of direction for whatever reason; I’d be the first to say do it. If you are 200% sure that is...

    Benno's UR197 & Meg 250

    Holy smokes Batman. YOU are the update king ! I wasn’t quite sure where you were going with the car at one point (Not sure if you were :tearsofjoy:). But you’ve got your direction now. Very nice buddy. You are set and committed to go round in circles at speed and looking good doing it. Kudos....
