Yeah they juddered a little at first, but now its been on for a while its fine no juddering at all. Although for how much harder it was to apply over G5, I am not sure I would bother with it again.
Thanks, they are great fun! They drive very similar to the clios i find, just one of them cars...
This all you need. By far the best wheel cleaner I've ever used.

So the other half decided she wanted yellow wing mirror caps and stripes fitted instead of the original grey stripes. So took it off down to my mates and while it was down there getting the vinyl work done used it as an excuse to give its first proper wash since collecting it late last year and...
I wouldn't of questioned whether they would of refurbished, I've powder coated worse. Nothing a blasting machine can't sort out!
Look great now, silver is the best colour for these wheels.
It was close to being done.
But then I bought a 50 shades of yellow sunflower phase 1 off @TheEvilGiraffe and I changed my mind about having a turbo racing blue so its been returned back to standard.
Sunflower is currently in bits getting the arches sorted, a genuine aluminium bonnet and...
The Cquartz never worked at all, whether the paintwork wasn't prepped correctly for it or his unit was too cold for it to take to the paintwork I am not sure but obviously we never realised until we come to wash it after the recommended 7 days later. At this point we were to far away just to go...
I Paid him for a Cquartz new car protection, was a absolute shower of shite. His attitude was s**t and took ages to get any form of compensation out of him.
Just learn to do it all myself after that.
Absolutely. I was just meaning if people struggle to find them if that guy from Poland sells out, they aren't as dear as people would think from the dealers. I expected them to be a lot more expensive.
I noticed absolutely zero difference going from 16" 182 wheels to 15" 2118s or 15" OZ F1s. It certainly felt like it drove better on 15s so that was good enough for me.
Just a heads up, they are only around £290-300 from Renault for a set of calipers also. I recently got a set of silver 197 ones for £290 from a Renault dealer on ebay brand new.
Anyone rocking M.2 SSD? My new board supports it so quite fancy it for the OS. 2100MB read and 1250MB write speeds sound great. Not very expensive now either.
H&R or Novitec are regarded to sit the best i think. Had 2 sets of H&R myself and now running Bilstein B14 coilovers. Can buy the Bilsteins brand new for around £450-500.
Sure you need H226 mate. Maybe they've changed the advert from my link now.

Or via Scara73 if you email them. Think they are about £150...
Don't take the unit out. Just get a flat head or similar in and cover it in tape. Bulb will stick to it and easily get it out.
Always like this colour, it was my mrs first choice but then she likes blue too much.
Had wobble bolts on the old one for nearly 2 years with 20mm spacers. Never had...
They do a bit yeah but not enough for taller people. Not an issue for me or the mrs lol. TMC do sell brackets to lower them though.
These are the PIAA bulbs.

For the 2 back lights and 2 plastic inserts you are talking around £230 all in.
They dont plug in to the oem loom though, old ones are 5 pin, new ones are 4 pin. A company is currently making adapters so no chopping is required.
