mpg ? what happened to kms;)
on average about 6.5 litres per 100 km, this week its been a bit higher (note to self, green light at intersection is not the start of a 1/4 mile !)
and they had a competition to guess what were the makes of the cars that they recoreded driving past ( was a BMW and Subaru, but thats not important)
anyways the first guy that called in was asked what car he drove, turns out a clio 2.0 sport (they dont call em 172s here) Guys joked a bit that...
glad someone has brought this topic up, I was undecided for over a year, and eventally gave in, uses a towbar mount, withought the ball......looks but ugly, but suppose will save my arse from a small rear end collision ! muddy mountainbikes a leather seats do not work.....
speaking of these things, does anybody here besides me run the standard mk2 ph1 14" alloys with plastic caps...anyone had them knicked, I reackon if one goes it will be a good excuse for a new set of alloys.

just dont paint the rear drums (if you got em) a funny colour......
I had mine redone black the other day when I had a puncture, just to "clean" em up.
it just seems such a thing with removing the door cards, little clips that WILL break...then dont know if the guys here can really paint the things properly, I see too many cars here with paint flaking off bumpers etc.
are they the same as Scenic handles, Renault say they are differnt inside ?
cos I can get a right drivers side and a left passanger door handle from the scrappy....will they fit ?
thanks.
viceroy, Im by the mountain and the ocean broer, like shoo wah !
can get it done for about R500 + VAT to remove and spray but Im too cheap for that ;)
actually want to get some used handles and have them done and fit myself and have the oem ones spare.
is it a big job ? (as in can I do it ??) want to code the handles, but spray shop want so much to remove and refit (more than than the spray !)
cheers in adv.
viceroy: dont really think so, too many middlemen last time, get some silver vision type globes and some for the head lamp indicators as well while youre at it. If memory serves I paid about R390 something incl. globes.
mk2 phase1 ?? if that makes sense, full red tail lights. loving it.
just curious, as i was looking at a tyre site the other day and they had all sorts of sizes I never heard of like 185/50 14s or 195/40 15s.
Im not from the UK, so please excuse my ignorance. How come you all are so fussed with your insurance co.s What has your new alloys or exhaust got to do woth your insurance ? here I insured my car when I got it, stated make and model and purchase price and thats it, changing my rims has nowt to...
