    Is my car nimbus grey?

    I see it more of mercury silver but I assume you could only get this colour on the Silverstone 200? Also, I was told by Renault that they don't do touch up sticks for my colour (nimbus?) and mars red!? cheers guys

Epic stuff. :argie: Gave her a good interior clean then gave some loving under the bonnet, to think it came from a main dealer, terrible state! Frost 360 apc & Dressel were used here. I then de badged her, quite like...

    Headlight adjustment??

    Just got the car back from having the belts done, but noticed the headlights are fully down, only just over the steering wheel! Couldnt see bugger all :( It was fine before, only noticed half way home threw the dark back roads. There seems to be no adjuster? Any help would be great!

    hmmmm, sell on my Recaro's?

    I really dont find these seats easy day to day. Getting in & out is hard, lol. I've bought a seat cover to try & stop them wearing (they are mint) They look lovely but tbh I would rather put that money toward my house! You can't fully enjoy them as they are covered up, lol. Am I mad...

    25mm spacers, too much?

    Hey all, so last thing I need for the stance is the spacers. I was intending on 20mm spacers, which Larkspeed sell but then I need to buy the longer bolts too which is a pain. They do the 25mm spacers that bolt straight to the hub, job done and only £200 for the four. Is it too much though...

    Tyres

    Think my tyres on the rear are the originals! They are cracked in the treads. So need 2 new ones. Now, is it a bad idea to say fit 2 Bridgestones on the rear with the Conti's on the front? Im a massive lover of the Toyo Proxie tyres but they were on my 172. Any recomendations, I did do a...
