Im with Reno (not FREE, but that shouldnt make any difference)
I asked about alloys and they said even if valued at zero would increase risk and therefore premium
I paid out £60 extra and had £150 added to my excess
good luck, but not hopeful... :(
Ive got 40mm drop on a new shape and massive improvement in french rolly-polly lean
theres a double bend on the way to work - it leaned more at 50mph B4 than it does at 65 now!!
Im sure youll get loads of slam it comments, but me thinks 40 is a v.good compromise cos ride still good but firm...
got a clonk/creak from drivers side steering - most noticeable when reversing off drive at angle or slow turns on uneven ground.
sods law, it started the day before I got 17s and lowered suspension fitted!
any ideas?
will Reno try and void my warranty & blame the mods?
the dCi sits a bit lower at the front as standard - heavier engine.
mine was about 150mm B4 @ front, 110 now.
wheelarch visible above tyre (vertical from top of tread) from 55mm to 15mm
love one, but no can do!
good luck, but waiting for a group will be hard work!
I tried the UK car best price (actually import, but told them it was UK), then once Id got one dealer price, I bounced 4 dealers off each other "if you can beat dealer Y £XXX by £100, Ill pay you a deposit today"...
p.s. I got 40mm APEX (fitted for only £122 at BB in Essex) and 17s - Im well chuffed!
much less roll and ride firm but not hard.
is it really worth spending a fortune on posh shocks on a sub-100HP car??
you can get Cups for about 11K (under 10 nearly new), but the lack of little extras like ABS, Auto lights and auto-wipers is a bummer - fab cars tho.
I think Tom would agree that the 182 is the best of both the CUP and 172.
If I had 14/15K, Id defo buy a 182!!
I know all you Cup & 172 owners can do 14s, 15s and 16s
But what about the rest of you - Im guessing about 18 for a dCi.
what have ppl done in old and new standard and modded 1.2s, 1.4s, 1.6s and dCis??
I doubt it!
I test drove a non-air car and bought one with air - no difference in performance, but tiny effect on economy IF IF I use it - about 10 days in August 03.
but I dont see how taking the belt off would help - if its not on, it cant drain any power!?
:confused:
