I hate you, Renault.

Long story short - I got new leather seats with door cards etc after I'd already sold mine. Sold mine with the switches for the windows on the drivers side and my new door cards didn't come with them. So I thought; "Be okay, I'll just order them from eBay, can manage for a few days". Came today...

Mine was knocking when going over bumps and it was the anti- rotation link between the bottom arm and hub. Mine had lots of play in it, you should be able to check without even taking the wheel off. Any negative effect on the handling? Mine was crap before I fixed it.

I didn't know about the code until afterwards either ha! Dammit!

You can get the 200 cup dampers from renaultpartsdirect for around £136 and use the site code for free delivery - ".netfree" I think it is, if confirm that first if I were you. I replaced my standard 197 shocks with them a few weeks ago and the improvement is incredible!

The only issue I noticed with the 225/45 tyres was he sidewall is thicker (as its 45% of the width). Make my wheels look like they have monster truck tyres compared to the 215s I replaced. Maybe that's just a trait of the Conti Sport 5s. Will be getting 225/40s next time.

That wheel is gorgeous, just how I want mine doing when I get round to doing it! Anyone else who's debadged their car starting to think the "C L I O" actually looks good ha, sigh... might put mine back on!

Have to get some pics up if you haven't already, be good to have a look-see!

I'm tempted to try and dye mine with some disperse dye... can you remove the actually polyester belts themselves from the mechanism easily enough then? And you're not no help haha! At least you've let us know :)! Good to know they're genuine Renault thought!

I have been looking into making my own flat-bottomed steering wheel for a while now and decided to finally get the ball rolling on it. Rather than butcher a perfectly good Renaultsport one, I'd like to attempt on a wheel from a standard Mk 3 Clio (not to mention they're cheaper to buy). So...

@Christopher I'm also interested as to where you sourced your red seat belts if you wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks! Mine need doing and love the finish you have on yours, looks great!

What paint did you use on the grilles and diffuser if you don't mind me asking @6705russell?

Wish I knew about this "Forum Code" ha!

Hope it sorts it for you mate!

Haha you're right there mate! Had a right chuckle, obviously relieved though, was starting to worry my car was gonna fall apart!

After taking wheels off and looking at the bolts, I realised what they were off.... The god damn trolley jack ha, fml.

Yeah I'll have to whip the wheel off and have a look!

Anyone struggling from a knocking when going over bumps and/or a lack of grip from one or both of the wheels, I'd recommend changing your anti-rotation links! Changed one of mine last night and it's transformed my car! Everything feels so tight now and the handling is superb! I'd almost...

So fit my pads and discs last night along with a new anti rotation link. Was pitch black by the time I had finished (couldn't get a couple of the pins out for ages) and was working from the torch on my iPhone, struggled to even get the wheels back on ha! Anyway, this morning I found this...
