Re: Silverstone #44 Update
Yes, that was me mate on Wednesday afternoon. I was getting some cash out so we must have just missed each other.
It was very dirty so I took it to the hand car wash behind Texaco to get it cleaned before the meet
I thought at the time that your 200 was looking very clean

no bother
What an amazing colour that is.
The best by far.

Well small update on this, after falling out of love with the car due to paint work issues, it has almost been finally booked in to get it all corrected.
As a result i placed an order for some Oz Ultraleggera with ad08 and some H&R springs. Once the paint is corrected the springs will be going on along with the wheels. Also got a large collection of carbon bits to go on.
Cant wait!

I like the speedlines mate

I will be keeping them for rainy days. I had purchased what i was told were cup racer speedlines but they ended up just being standard speedlines so i was totally gutted.
The ultras look mint on Mk3s almost near perfect fitment with no spacing.
Well the wheels have arrived.
Just waiting on the paintwork being fixed then they will be being fitted along with the springs.
Not sure on the stickers, a little too race car for me, might be removing them. i weighed the wheels and they come in at around 17kg plus tires which is pretty good compared to the speedlines they were 21kg a wheel.

Thanks, i done a small trial fit with a couple of wheels and the offset (et55) is perfect and the wheel just sits slightly in from the arch.
They look sweet paul, with the H & R springs will set it off a treat!
Thanks Lloyd, i think i will finally be happy with the car once they are fitted.
Paul that is quite a race car choice of wheels and tyres you made there. Looking forward to seeing this with the springs fitted.
I know Pete, maybe a little too race carish considering it will never see a track. Oh well guess it makes a change from buying stupid BBS`s that don`t fit properly and need polishing weekly. Your 172 looks to be making good progress, fixed your starting issue yet?
Well smallish update.
Ultras are fitted, not the best pictures but it is the only one i have.
The car was then picked up for pretty much a full re-spray and what was hopefully the end of my paint issues.
Well they had the car for a little under a month, whilst i was away with work on HMS Illustrious which was quite possibly the worst time of my life.
Well the car is back and to be honest they have managed to screw it up yet again. The front wings and doors have way too much clear coat and this has caused a weird rig effect on all the panel joins. Here is the drivers side wing.
Well in an attempt to make myself feel better i ordered some H&R springs, only to find out larkspeed had sent me Megane springs by mistake (right box, wrong springs) Good job me and TimR26 didnt spend hours trying to fit them
So i have a motor engineer coming out to do a survey of the car some time soon, correct springs on their way over from German and a test drive being book in a new Fiesta ST for if all else fails. Bring on the 4th attempt get this paint right.

Sorry to hear, is it renault that are meant to be sorting this?
at least you'll not have to worry about scratches as the paint will be so thick... Every cloud lol

How can a company the size of Renault with their resources do a worse job that a half decent body shop?
I would hate to think how much is on it already. The crease that runs down the side of the car is slowly disappearing. Will this cause any problems in the future?
Yes it is all RUK who are dealing with it. This time the car went to the import centre (Cat-services ltd) as RUK thought this would mean the work was carried out to a higher standard :clown: You know somewhere where they just bang hundreds of cars out a day. Think of all the extra weight!! could be the difference between a Cup and FF!
Main dealer/large bodyshops are usually much much worse than smaller places. Bonus shops... always a good thing for quality.
Having that much paint on your car is never a good thing. It can cause lots of different issues and it will chip twice as easy and twice as bad.
