    OZ ultraleggera colour change

    I have a set of these in matt/satin black and although they do look pretty good, they are a mare to keep clean! With the matt finish not being smooth, it seems to attract dust, dirt etc even when they do have a couple of coats of fk1000 on them! im wanting to go gloss on them, ideally not...

    Engine temperature?

    Bumping an old thread! ordered a new 197 thermostat from Renault today, going to fit at weekend! Reading through this thread, do I need to bleed after installation, do I not need to bleed?

    Projector lights and aftermarket HID?

    I've done exactly what you have said above, with 4300k hids. It's easily possible, much easier if you take the headlights out completely, drill through the back of the headlight bulb cover, put bulb through and make sure plastic/rubber bung is seated properly to seal the light, and then I used...

    LED cornering lights

    LEDs can still fade, they do in the interior lights. Osram bulbs would probably give a whiter light but not as much as an LED would especially next to the xenon dipped beam

    LED cornering lights

    I have xenon and led side lights, so with the halogen cornering lights, they don't really match. Has anyone used LED bulbs in their place? I bought some the other day, but they don't seem to work, I know led lights are polarity conscious sometimes, so it may be this. any help appreciated!

    Yiannis' Albi Blue R27 - Toning down...

    Nah but it will be going up at some point in the near future to get those done! i went up there to have a new air compressor fitted, braided lines fitted, gearbox oil changed and brake fluid changed! With the drive there and back it worked out much cheaper than to have it done here! Sean is a...

    Yiannis' Albi Blue R27 - Toning down...

    Ah so it was your car that was my twin when I was up jades a little while ago! I have even fitted the same wheels since then! Loved the covered a pillars and the carbon wing mirrors! Pretty jealous of the akrapovic exhaust too!

    200: This years MOT comes to! ...

    Agree with this quote! If you are doing more miles surely you should buy a decent set of tyres! As also said, it's the only part that keeps you in contact with the road! Plus you can't exploit the chassis on these cars with budgets on it! Sounds like you bought the wrong car mate!

    Powerflex bushes & engine mounts

    No doubt the drive is better, I don't even mind vibrations, it's the noise the vibrations make in the cabin! Almost make your ears pop!

    Powerflex bushes & engine mounts

    I fitted the lower one to my clio the other week, easy enough to do! Took it for a spin, definetly notice less engine movement and more positive throttle response! however I knew there would be more vibrations, but it is starting to get too much, it's also the vibration noise, like when you...

    New aircon condenser

    When I bought my 197, the aircon was not blowing cold. A quick Regas later and it was blowing cold! Roll forward to the really hot day we had a few weeks ago, I got in the car, hit the aircon, only to be blown in the face by hot air! i have taken the car back up there today and they have...
