Yeah, was all sorted on the same day. Made me laugh, she was adament it was 50/50 on the accident (she reversed out of a parking space into my car), her insurance company phoned up and said 'yes its her fault, how do you want to go about sorting the claim?'
Cant fault the service there :D
Hello all, been a while since ive done anything properly on here so thought I would post some pictures of the car. Put on some 172 alloys last week that I bought from Tim_Lockhart. Bit of a tight squeeze I thought at first with the MUCH bigger wheels, were wider and bigger overall diameter, but...
Does anybody know what size I need for the Clio? Its basicaly a straight replacement for my standard ones and was wondering if anyone knew what I need, otherwise ive gotta spend ages fishing through cupboards to find measuring tools or take it to a shop and ask them(I know by experience that its...
Does anyone know if wheels and tyres with the measurements ok 195/45/16 will fit in the arches of my Mk1 Clio without problems, the wheels in question are the Standard 172 16' alloys
Thanks
I think this is the right place to put it, im not sure. (if im wrong can the mods please put it in the right place? thanks)
Right, my question to everyone is this. The fog lamps on the Mk1 Clio's are pretty s**te (leaky, corrode easily...), but I love the look they give to the car so does...
Im going, staying near Loughborough Saturday night (relatives FTW! free place to stay :D) convoy sounds good ;) if anyone wants to arrange a time and place to meet Saturday
The inner wing is in two parts, need to cut out a section of the old inner and weld in the new one, ill get an image and drawing if you want?
EDIT: Yes the inner wing is f***ked
Really cant be bothered waiting longer to get my car back, the defects arent major they are just dissapointing. Nothing a few minutes of gentle persuasion wont sort ;)
New panels arrived yesterday, sadly they are not the best quality even though they are supposed to be new :dapprove: so gonna have to spend some time dollying them out with a block and hammer. Yay more work(!)
Cheers mate really what I wanted to hear :(, sure everything will be fine though :)
Hopefully the new parts should arrive either today or tomorrow, was supposed to be today but I have my doubts now :dapprove:
Urgh, my car was broken into last week (some of you will probably have seen that post) then friday last week I got reversed into by a BMW X3, is it just me or do people hate my car? Proved to be a very expensive McDonalds lunch that day.
Anyway fair play to her insurers the payed up straight...
Well yeah, few differences but its comparable to say something like the Skoda Octavia 1.9 TDI engine, which is then altered a little and dropped into their Fabia VRS. Same engine just basicaly tuned and dropped into a smaller car.
EDIT: Sorry for the comparrison on a different maker but best I...
Haha nice! Yeah I had this idea before I came to sense over my lack of money, no expert on this but got a few mates near me that do this sorta stuff for a joke, said it will fit straight in no problems :) get some pics of the car up :)
