Didn't have it. As a Ford colour it's American colour so they didn't have it

Tried that didn't match. I was told the colour is Aztec gold. But couldn't find anything that matches. Went through Halfords full colour mixing chart today.in the end the fella just gave up. Which was comically when he'd started with I can match anything

Problem is the light on that photo. looks ok in the light. Don't look bad without the centre's as well

They said it couldn't be done. Even halfrauds failed. Mrs con1981 though succeeded!! Thank you to my brilliant wife for painting the centre's. Not far off

They've only just gone on today. Initial impressions are they seem really sticky. They didn't take a massive amount of balancing either. Once I get a few hundred miles under my belt on these I'll be able to tell better. My commute to work involves both motor way and b roads so I should be able...

They want to be magic for that price. As long as you know the diameter of the bolt and the thread you can pick these up for next to nowt at any fixings place. Last time I needed some of these the local fixing place near me just asked for a contribution to their tea fund.

f**k me £3.50 for two nuts!! This is why I hate Renault

Next up these 10mm spacers will go on the back once my abs sensor for my o/s rear turns up. No point in putting them on yet and then having to dismantle it all again

Alloys are now on and I have to say pretty pleased with the results. Only issue I've had is matching the centre caps. The wife is better at painting than me so she had taken over trying to match the colour

Cheers mate for the help

I'm running standard 172 wheels so I'm guessing if the hub needs 9mm and the bolts are 26mm as standard that's 17mm.

Most likely post cat lambda if it's all running dandy. As said above

As Don't say that it's pretty fatalistic

Fully agreeing with the above. No option out now

Good idea like this

I wish I had known that. Live and learn. Should have gone for gloss black less hassle. Lol

I got then done as a favour by my father unlaw with some paint they had left. He told me they wouldn't be able to do the centre's as they would melt

Right I think I might have found the closest thing hamerite gold I'll get a tin of this tomorrow

Powder coat my alloys gold I said. Really wish I hadn't. Tried about three different Golds from Nissan gold, a general hobby gold and Ford Olympic gold. I can't for the life of me get the colour on my centre caps to match! What colour gold do you reckon my alloys are? I'm thinking about...

fella's it looks as though they only do 20mm spacers that bolt to hub. http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=423262 the 15mm H&R ones require longer bolts anyone got a link to where I can find bolt to hub spacers that are max 16mm cheers

I'll have a look for these then

Bolts are 40mm . What do you reckon can go wrong? What is the difference between these and the hr ones?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141608171251?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT been looking at these but by my calculations the extended bolts are 2mm short? do you reckon these will be ok?

If you can wind the piston in its not seized. The caliper is not at fault. Did you free off the two pins that the caliper bolts two the ones with the rubber dust covers on the carrier?

Tires have arrived today. Really pleased with how these look. Can't wait to get them fitted this weekend. I've gone with Syron race 1's (the semi slicks didn't seem practical with winter just round the corner). These are made by/for keskin and seem to get some decent reviews on other forums...

The calipers float on a pin which allows the caliper to adjust to how much is left on the pads. The two bolts that hold the caliper to the hub are only partly threaded and the unthreaded bit can rust solid into the carrier

Jet wash and cilit bang has worked for me in the past

I would just give them a light sand do they are keyed and just paint over the top. Plastidip is another option but I found brake dust seems to stick to it

My money is on a seized caliper pin

I would recommend anything above £100 otherwise you will get nothing but engine management. Really u need something with abs etc
