    Calling all Cyclists - Roof mounted bike rack?

    Im not sure which part we are on about now! The Thule 561 hangs too far over the back of the car and you cant open the boot properly so I had to take them off when there was no need to transport a bike. I cut the plastic aero bar insert so it would plug the hole in the bars when the bike...

    Calling all Cyclists - Roof mounted bike rack?

    They do look pretty strong pieces of kit. Stopped using the roof as I couldnt find any of the plastic parts to fill the gap in the aero bar when they werent on, had to cut down the ones it came with to fit round the bike rack and cant find a full piece anywhere. I want to leave the bars on but...

    Calling all Cyclists - Roof mounted bike rack?

    I have used my 197 with the bike on the roof. I have the standard renault roof bars and I used the Thule Outride 561 until I sold them. Its a bit of a pain getting the renault bars on and off as they are a bit over complicated I think. Compared to my old Fiat anyway. I would always use a...

    RS Tips

    HI When I bought the car I got some of the RenaultSport exhaust tips as well. When I came to have a look the ends of the exhaust are bigger daimeter than the tips. Does the slashed end need to be removed to fit the tip?

    It is a downhill track yes. Bikes do fit quite well in the back of them, take the bottom bench out completley and you can get the handelbars/forks down the back of the driver/passenger seats. Ive had two downhill bikes in before, its snug though! Also have a roof rack for my other bike. Tend...

    No plans for this one, I like it the way it is! Maybe a wheel re-furb if funds allow but thats about it. Something to get the consumption up would be nice though! The stuff I used was all Maguiars stuff, clay, polish and then the caranuba wax. I think that its abit past it though as it...

    Hi I bought my 197 last November after the Grande Punto I had before it died. I think its pretty standard apart from cornering lights and the 6CD changer in the dash. I have put an iPod connection in and thats about it. Its an 06 model but is in excellent condition. Have clayed...
