No mate. As I put in my opening post I've got the bumper insert stickers to go on. There's a lad on here does them for about £4 a pair and they are a perfect fit, replaced them on my Trophy last year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm hoping someone can tell it's been sprayed or I've wasted my money [emoji3][emoji3]. But yes might have a look without the stripes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After buying the car last month I was eager to get the paint sorted. I've had it in the body shop I use. They have done a great job on the front end getting rid of some road rash. Also the bonnet had the problem like a lot of these of rusting along the front edge just in from the headlight. I...

DTM cars in Newcastle, they've had it for sale for about a year ........well I think it's theirs #246

Yes, the 182 cup has the "poverty" stiched look wheel, no thumb cups but does have cruise buttons. I will probably end up doing as you say and sending original but just had the idea of buying one and sending it. Plenty for sale without cruise buttons.

I'm looking at getting a snappy refurb on the 182 Cup wheel. My idea is to buy another wheel and send it into him for sorting. The Cup has the cruise buttons and no thumb pads. Just looking on eBay there are quite a few wheels of base design but most don't have the cruise buttons, it looks like...

You find me them at £130 and I will buy 4 !!!

Yes, I've messaged him to ask the question

I'm just thinking about trying the bring my wheel back to life a bit with some treatment but can't figure out what it's made of. Are these wheels actually leather covered. On the face of it there is a stitched seam but is that artificial. There are areas where the "grain" has gone smooth. Is it...

It defies belief. I got a brand new one last year off a lad on the forum for £100. At that time new I think they were £165. Now they are well over £200. I doubt they will have manufactured any new ones for years so it's just price hikes on existing stock, they deserve to be sat with them forever...

Thanks for your help with this. I will stick with the torque wrench technique I think, don't want a simple job to become expensive

I've wanting to remove and paint a coupe of items. Firstly the left hand engine mount (the one bolted onto drivers side inner wing) or possibly just the bolts. Do I presume if I want to completely remove it I will have to jack up the engine and support it. What about just the bolts, is it safe...

As Jeff says that's it really. If you try and swap tuner for update you lose the dash display and some of the functions iirc

No you don't physically touch it. You hold the heat gun quite close to the panel moving it quickly left and right or up and down along the scratches. The plastic sort of heals the scratches under the heat. The best thing is to start prob 2 inches away and work your way closer. It's better to...

Possibly already covered on here but here's a couple of before and after pics of my efforts with the heat gun.

@MRBILLYUK did you paint the centre caps too, what did you do about the chrome diamond, just mask it ?

I bought an RB5 brand new in 1999 ...T528 JWA. I lost £6k on it when I sold it about 18months later, worst time to sell, market flooded with imported STI WRX stuff, insurance went silly. ........wish I had it now !

I've thought about doing that this summer when I can get them all out

Coils ?

I had looked at the car in January but couldn't strike a deal with the seller who wanted more than I wanted to pay. Anyway he contacted me again this week as he wanted to move the car on so I got the car for my original offer. The car is a nice example 68k miles 3 owners and full history nearly...

Title says it all really but over the years I've tried all the usual upholstery and carpet cleaners, hanging the mat on the fence and hitting it with the pressure washer. I've thought about putting them in a hot bath but not sure what Mrs A may say. The Renaultsport mats are too expensive to...

I'm thinking of going down the wet paint route for a change with these. I will have a chat with you about it Paul

Can they do that as part of the powder coating then as obviously the centres are plastic

I'm looking at getting a set of 182 cup alloys (anthracite) refurbed. There are a few marks on the centre caps, what's the best option, obviously I'm guessing spraying them, is there a common paint code anyone is aware of. I've done a bit of a search before posting but can't find anything

After a bit of help from Mat on here and a lot of exchanging of emails and a vernier gauge I got myself a new B pillar VIN decal produced from the guys at Diginate. If anyone is needing to replace a damaged or tatty one I can recommend them. They have retained a sample file in my name on...

Well I've looked at 2 Cups recently and both were rusting in same place. I just wondered if anyone had investigated the cause. Just seems strange with it occurring in the same place on the bonnet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is it that makes the front o/s leading edge of the bonnet rust on the phase 2 Clios. My Trophy seems to have escaped it up to now but many cars seem to suffer from it. I could understand it on wheelarches and sills where dirt gets trapped but the bonnet surely keeps fairly clean. Is it a...

I got my membership card today with a black plastic key thing. What do I do with it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hell Chris....have you totted up what you've actually spent on the car. Must be a fortune. Top job though.

Not a lot by the look of the ad. Just the usual R Performance premium
