If they're bad, I would suspect you'll need to get a wire brush attachment for your rotary tool to get them off, then polish from scratch. So to speak!

​I'm guessing an increased flow rate?

That'll be from road salt and grime. Clean them down, and then get to work polishing. You'll need an angle grinder/ drill with polishing mops and compound. ​Lots of how to guides on the net - do a quick google. ;)

So, I like to think I have some mechanical knowledge. The 1.5 DCI's, specifically the Mk3. Obviously there are 3 variants. The 68bhp, the 86bhp and the 106bhp. What is it that creates the power difference between them? I would assume turbo first of all, but is the Engine Management different...

I was thinking more at 21mins onwards, when he reels in the last guy and overtakes him on the last chicane! ​Fecking nuts, but brilliant!

I'm more of a biker than a car man to be honest, but I've made an effort with this club. I did ClioSport last year as a brand new member and Clio owner. I moreso go to have a laugh and meet people. Probably won't track my car though! LOL.

So being a FCS newbie, is it a good show?

​Lol! Had you just woken up?

Not had a problem in 4000 miles with them so far. As I said earlier in the thread though, I'm more of a cruiser. I don't go hooning round roundabouts, or seeing how fast I can get through the twisties. I'm no slouch, but I'm driving a 86bhp 1.5 DCi. Never had a problem stopping in the wet or...

The image posted earlier in the thread is a different variant of NS2 (Sportnex) I believe. These are Ultrasports. I'm running them on my car now. Imprezaworks: The £37 quoted is in the size above, is correct for the Ultrasports, as they are in the picture on Camskills site.

Or if nobody knows the exact paint code, is there a close match?

NS2's are back on offer at Camskill too right now. £36.90 each in 205/40/17's. Bargain!

Mk3 Interior Trim - aluminium dash strips in particular. Does anyone know the paint code for it? Want to match the heater controls/ stereo surround in the same colour.

Got them on my Clio. Never had a problem. All this rubbish about poverty spec, ditch finders. If you drive like a t**t in poor conditions then you've only got yourself to blame. Had them on for about 4000 miles now and had no issues - rain, snow, or in the dry. Then again, I'm not hooning...

Depends on your mechanical knowledge. The rears are very simple. Jack up both sides, put axle stands in place. Then 1 side at a time, put jack under the trailing arm, as you unbolt the lower shock bolt, lower the jack down as the hub, etc, will drop. Springs can be a tight squeeze to get out and...

Come on Mk3 boys! Help a brother out! :cool:

Link doesn't work as you can't link from your own pc. Upload them to Photobucket or similar. As for the insurance, I wouldn't suggest misleading them about the wheels personally. Check here for other Renault fitments: http://www.alloyguide.com/Renault.php

Nice car. i also went from a Vectra to a Clio! :) The vent surrounds should pop off. They're tight, but carefully pry them off and you should be able to get to the vent.

The rear washer that needs to be drilled out on the Mk3. Is it the big cupped washer? ​Just enquiring before I take it apart this week.

I suspect it then ventures into the realm of notifying the dvla of the colour change too...

Keep the silver and black in my opinion. Looks nice. ​I'll have some 40mm FK springs coming up soon. Will have done less than 300 miles.

Always used HEL Performance in the past for my motorbikes and car. However, they're based down deepest, darkest Devon (Exeter way).

Oh right, haha! Hello mate! If it's just a penny washer, say, you can get them online, B&Q, Halfords, etc. Like here for example: http://www.qvsdirect.com/M10-Penny-Washers-10mm-pr-19175.html ​

For the Rear shocks? I did ask Adam, but they only come with the shocks. I'm going to measure mine up though when I take them off to drill them out, and then see about getting some made up for the new dimensions. (Not sure if it's the same for MK2's, but this will be on a MK3 with AP coilovers...

Ordered with Adam! :cool:

I assumed so. Cool. Will give Adam a ring for pricing then. Thanks Danny.

Replacing my standard suspension with coilovers. Car has done just shy of 70k, is it worth replacing these too? ​

​Yeah, I just simplified it. ;) To the OP, save your money. Insurance is bad enough as it is. I've waited till now to do any serious modifications to any car, and I'm 29!
