Yes I did, I reclaimed the material from a rear seat back so that it matched perfectly. I put some pictures in my project thread

but don't think I put pics in this thread before
I used the guy you linked. Pretty sound, no nonsense place. They charge if the straightening is successful or not. £40 per wheel (that was with rims off the car and no tyre on) , I had two straightened, one successful, one not. In the end I didn't run the wheels as I sourced straight ones so...
Your correct on the size ! There are some more pics more in my project thread

but one day I will have to make the time to take at least a couple of proper photos !
Thanks for all the nice comments.
Next finishing touch I have in mind is repairing the original drivers side floor mat as the other mats are in great almost like new condition.
A bit like the steering wheel getting replacement mats in the right colour is impossible. The ones I have currently...
I had always wanted a steering wheel re trim (having stripped off the crumbling leather from my original wheel a good while back), finally decided to get it done.
There was always one thing nagging me about the PH1 re trims I had seen though, the colour. I hadn't seen a single one where it...

For me the ability to code the 2.0 badge nicely on the PH1 side strips is the main issue for using PH2. On a similar note has anyone done smoothed PH2 bullets with 2.0 16v decals (as spray shack sells) but in the PH1 font ? that would look nice I think.
Thanks for all the comments.
Got the chance to actually give it a run on them last night. Wasn't sure about how it would change the car, the slight increase in rolling radius, the extra weight, whether to go for 205's or 195's ? (they're 205's). Anyway I had convinced myself I would be...
Cheers, well there on now ! inbetween the rain showers. I love them but got to say the switch back to silver is going to take a bit of getting used to,totally changes the look and character of the car.
Cheers !
Think of it like this, the bearing has two parts. One that stays still, this is the outer part touching the rubber that sits inside the body. The inner part of the bearing spins, this is what the threaded part of the damper is attached to and the top hat is screwed onto this thread (or held

Cheers ! Tyres on now, should be on the car soon....
Wanted to get some suspension work done first. New style top mounts and bearings prompted by a scraping sound, and new inner / outer arb bushes prompted by some squeaking.
Found the culprit for the grinding, a very knackered seized top...
Ok, getting closer, all painted up. No joy with the paint code, nobody could mix it but happy with the match. I have a set of PS3's ready to go on so nearly there.
..to answer my own question it would appear you can get bluethooth obd dongels for ios, such as http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xtool-iobd2-MFi-BT-Bluetooth-iOS-Android-Supported-OBDII-OBD2-Diagnostic-New-/121156729808?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c3580fbd0
just not the cheap generic ones, and...
Cheers, no problem for the code, looking forward to see how they turn out ! I hope it can pull off the 16's height wise as its on sportlines ?
The touch up for the seat was direct from http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm (colour ref 'Clio 2000 d/blue.' on their database)
Ok, its just a wheel but having waited and searched so long to get these it almost feels wrong to put them on the car :)
One of the two boxed brand new ones I have, others (as below after repair) at the body shop.
A nice man at Renault UK got me the paint code from the OZ factory in Italy...
