All car parts in Kent. Came as 4 studs. They're closed all weekend too, which doesn't help. Phone call on Monday it is! Invoice states a mk3 197

Hi guys, I think I made a boo-boo... I've bought some rear discs that were acclaimed for a Mk3 197. It's a 5 stud pcd, now I'm going to ask the stupid question. My discs have arrived as 4 studs!? Someone put me out my misery!!

Cheers mate ;) it feels great to drive! Really happy! I can start focusing on other things now

I took an opportunity to clean my car, while I'm off work and what not. It took me a good 3 hours, but by god does it shine! I used a variety of things: Meguires Gold Glass Shampoo Autoglym Fast Glass Poorboys Diamond White polish Angelwax Ti-22 sealant Fusso King of Gloss Meguires...

Absolutely fantastic first drive! Responsive, sharp & quick, best of all... no crunching! In Hull bud. It took him two days to get it back to me too! Absolutely over the moon! Here's what caused the crunchiness. There's no visual faults with it. Stumped!

Just a quick update. Cars passed MOT. Few advisories. Nothing major, a cheap fix. Secondly, cars in for a new syncromesh on 4th. It was completely shot! I had a phone call from the garage. Clutch had gone too! So all in all a new 4th gear & a new clutch. It came to £666 and I get my car back...

I take it you'll be delivering your car to Hull at some point ;) he looks at your clutch to and let's you know if it's okay!

It's @Wallis Engineering in Hull and yep, that's including all labour charges too!

Now then guys, not really much of an update. Cars still mobile even though syncro has gone pretty much. I thought a good chance to take a picture of a Recaro in a Recaro :wink: I've managed to raise the money for my gearbox. It's £350 for syncro replaced or £700 for full box...

Good luck bud! Sad to see a poorly Clio! Fingers crossed :)

Absolutely! It makes it look like a different wheel completely! Yeah you have to disconnect one of the cables going to your battery, nobody wants the bag going off premature haha! I may follow suit until the stitching and marker ;) If you don't mind :)

That looks brilliant mate! I'm definitely going there! Leather with alacantra with white stitching i'm guessing?

Have you got a picture of yours?

Also, how many pennies did it cost?

I've got Nimbus Grey #379 :) http://www.clio197.net/threads/f1-197-frenchie.54179/

I've got no 379/500 :)

I'll have to give them a gander! It desperately needs doing, it peels everyday haha!

Ouch! Expensive rubber haha! Where abouts are you located?

Want to make it look like a road race car. I do! My friend is a sprayer, so I get them done nice and cheap :smile:

Oh my first drive was amazing!!! loved it! After driving my friend Citroen Berlingo around, my car feels brand new haha! Brakes are working about 90% - didn't have a bleed kit, so they need re-bleeding but still - awesome! The nails are my partners ;) ha! I thought so too ;) Ouch! How much did...
