Ages ago, I refurbed and painted two of my alloys in anthracite, Never got around to doing the other two, not enough time. However, now doubting my choice.... What does CS think?
I know the rear plate isn't straight, Its Velcroed on, Just washed the car and didn't line it up again.
Not sure what this forum is like with talking about this, but see where this goes.
I'll start by saying I don't trust my nearest Renault dealer with my car having seen their work before, and all the others, inc specialists are a fair while away, so I'd clearly like to avoid for the time beiing...
Seem to post in here everyday!
Today at half 3 through dunmow, Couldn't miss it!
Didn't catch a reg as I was too busy stareing at it, and trying to drive at the same time.
Searching ebay randomly Thursday night, Happend across this and clicked buy it now within 10mins of finding it :D
Picked it up yesterday, Needs a few bits (which I already knew!), Dephaser rattle, leaky rad, covered in dents from hailstones and finally the brakes are shocking where its been sat...
I've nearly sorta finished the little DCi, as much as any project car is.
With the nice weather this morning, and having finished the 172 I rebuilt, I figured it was a good time to give the car a quick wash, fit a replacment skoda splitter and get a couple of pics, nothing special.

Searched high and low, and all I can find is threads with pictures that no longer work :(
Looking to refurb my wheels and can't decide between keeping the standard Silver or going Anthracite, so pics please!

Car is my 172 rep DCi. Fitted with what I was told is early ph2 172 complete front end setup (subframe, wishbones, shocks, hubs etc etc), I fitted all new balljoints and poly bushes.
But, the problem. I noticed when fitting the shocks up, there's a huge amount of movement in the lower two...
I get that cars are assembled by humans, Mistakes happen and all that, But I'm seriously surprised by how poor a lot of new cars come from the factory.
Today, I found one of the best I've seen in my years.
This is a 2013, Brand new, Delivered the other day to the dealer, still at the dealer...
Bought this in 2011, Paid £1300, Was okay money for a Okay car, bit tatty but otherwise good, 142k miles.
Looked like this, including welsh flags on number plates (Spent its 7 years in Wrexham)
