@dane0's probably a mega-hero on track :tongueout::cool:. Don't think I'm at any risk of arch rubbing for sure 😂!

Dodgy/incorrect springs maybe? I've heard one or two stories of the wrong springs being shipped but in the correct packaging, if you get my drift?

They're actually 16" so not what I really wanted, but I may be able to get them for a steal. Definitely 4x100, but will get more detail later. I'm impatient though, so does anyone know what they are? Thanks :up:.

Yes, and probably the cause of thumb grip failure, sea water's a bugger for that!

Great tip @bearne1, thanks! Cringed a bit when I had to spend £6.50 on a syringe 😅, nearly opted for the £4.50 turkey baster option, but thought better of it :smile:. So power steering fluid changed today, and cabin filter too - old one was a bit mucky :up:.

Do a guide @Davyy!

It's one of the first things I did when I got my car. It made the car feel like new, and I'm not exaggerating :smile:.

To save @Dr Jekyll a post :wink:, pop out screw cover at base to expose hex/screw, undo, slide door pull out, swap over the knobs and switches, pop back in and screw back down. I found the hex/screw cover was loose afterwards so stuck it in with a bit of double sided tape. 5 mins work :up:.

There's loads of non-sport ones on eBay for a few dollars. And because they are plain old miserable plastic they clean up nicely, and actually match the rest of the tatty plastic on the doors - like the plastic around the door pull lever things (at least on my 172).

On my 172 the original nuts were 10mm. When I replaced a broken one, the replacement from Renault was 13mm. Any chance you have actually undone the stud from the block and that's why it seems to be spinning?

I replaced mine with non-sport versions that don't have the sticky finish, yet they still look original :up:

I don't think it'll be the springs though, that would't cause the top of the mounts to sit so high. I reckon something is missing or fitted incorrectly, or even the wrong mounts or dampers?

Do it! :hearteyes:

I was being too specific, trying to search for right colour combos and wheel choices :confused:. That'll do nicely, thanks!

I have, not come up with much, I'll give it another go...

<deleted post - I guffed up>

I think 15" will be 6mm smaller overall than my current 16" running 45 profile

I'm already on Eibach springs, just worried the smaller wheel/rubber combo might look like cotton reels :grimacing:.

This is tragic :smile:

Seriously, do you reckon 15" wheels running 195/50 will look ok with Eibach Sportlines, or will I need to go lower?

Great.

There may be hope for me 😅!

I don't know what my problem is. Perhaps you could shed some light? It would be like therapy! 😂

I don't think they're right, gap looks too big? Have you just fitted the springs?

Silver 😂 ....maybe

A bit safe though?

Let's see a pic

Anthracite over black

Ganging up on me now with the silver opinions 😢:laughing:. TBF, nowt wrong with silver, and they'll sell on well when I'm done with them.....

I like the green wheels on your blue - but not as a daily, I'm too conservative 🙈.
