Ha, you boys know me too well, ive got the Compomotoive page open on my PC now and im on TH2s as theyre one of my all time favourite wheel designs. Again though, theyre outrageously heavy and ive already got one set of anvils in the 2118s. I cant have 2 sets :D

I think alot of grit gets caought between teh steel panels and the bodykits on teh RS models. This grit abrades paintwork and rot sets in.

Bit of a mix between Superleggeras and Turinis. NIce. I think if i was going for that split 12 spoke design id go Superleggera. Ive even looked out for some forged options but there isnt a great deal availble and so many of them just dont look very nice.

And there lies the problem, the Turinis/2118s are tried, tested and timeless. Then i find myself looking at some OZ Allegritas or some Enkei RPF1s. Very light and very cool but would anything look as sweet on a mk2 Clio as a set of Turinis does? Was certainly an eye opener going back to road...

I bet that sounded pretty good actually. Im in 2 minds on the wheels at the mo, i'll let you know if i do :)

Guys, Can anyone clear this up for me. Im looking at buying a brand new set of Speedline Turinis bu these are NLA from Renault. However they are available off the peg from PMS and the likes. I have heard the Renault diamond Turini centre caps wont fit in the non Renault Speedlines, Is this...

Oh and I forgot to drop the Obisoud video in here. The exhaust is in the for sale section if anyone in interested. 🙂

Might just do that

Had these freshly refurbished and im not 100% happy with the job. I dont trust the company to get them right so im tempted to sell for something else. Or do i buy a new set of Turinis, however they would be non Renault specific versions. I've heard the Renault centre caps wont fit, does anyone...

Tried on her freshly refurbished winter wheels today. 16” Speedline Turinis, a classic look for the little Mk2 Clio but is it time for a change? What do you think?

You mean not rocking up? 😅

I’m at a meet the day before so can’t commit to both just yet. But great to see these back on. I’m yet to make it to one 😅

So are you tightening them so tight they’re protruding and fouling the rear of the disc assy and causing it to bind?

Bearing spacer and check the pads arent binding. Does the caliper slide freely without the pads in situe?

Not in the front obviously, but you could easily dig the wire into the barrel. Its pretty easily done on the old crap designed brushes. That posibilty doesnt even exist with a Wheel Woolie. Who doesnt like spending money? Like many of us when it comes to our cars, just try and buy the best I...

The older Megs brushes were wire centred and had a small silicone cap on the top. Often you would pull the brush back from the barrel of the wheel, the disc would pull the cap off and before you've realised it, you have stabbed the sharp wire end into your alloy. Even on a cheap set of wheels...

You and i have very different ideas about scrtches my friend. :sneaky:

Just realised Cheaper than a refurb when you scratch it with a £5 wire centred brush. The set of 3 cost me £50 when i got them and i thought it was a bit strong. However i can honestly say they have ben worth every penny and would buy them again in a heartbeat. Mr Porsche would bum me for the...

Ive got proper seat envy!! Oh hang on :D Absolutely love these mate, and i know you will too. They will complete an already stunning package. Always happy to help dude. :)

Yes that’s right. 👍🏼

@MLB apologies sir. I should have clarified, compete in durability & hydrophobic properties. The most durable wax I’ve used was back when I was using waxes and that was Coli 915. It always looked superb but even that couldn’t get close to something as basic as Sonax BSD for beading/durability...

Not used a conventional wax in years. Since moving over to ceramic based sealants, I don’t think waxes can really compete. Not saying they don’t look lovely because some really do. But I’m more than happy with the finish and protection offered by a sealant and it takes a fraction of the time to...

They won’t fit a damper with a spring perch like the OEM struts. They’re designed for 2.25” coilovers.

Also not surprised. It was a lovely car and you did a great job on those last few items to make it 100%. Now then... about this inferno 😁

Wheel Woolies medium & small. Far and away the best brushes I’ve ever used. Mine get used twice a week every week and still as good as new 2 years on. Composite handles so won’t scratch your rims either. https://www.slimsdetailing.co.uk/wheel-woolies-red-black-b-kit.html...

I’ve not hidden that I’m no fan of petrol blue, but that does look superb in the sun. Well done. 😎👌🏼

Great pics of a superb looking car 🙂

The one I recently drove was lovely with some nice bits including a 250 map, Nitrons, Larini exhaust etc. Went well and sounded superb. The exhaust alone was worth it. But I still find the steering too light, the balance difficult to really commit to, and the build quality tough to swallow at...

But you will have longer enjoyment of the car so treat it as buying more time with it. I guess it’s 6 of one and half a dozen of the other. I love Lotus cars, always have done. But having recently driven another supercharged S2, I still wouldn’t part with my Clio for one at £25k. But you gotta...

Arguably you can command more for it having had the belts freshly done though.
