Failure to declare, and getting into an accident will quite possibly invalidate the insurance, meaning the driver can then be done for driving without (valid) insurance.

​Haha, yeah. Being Germans too, you'd think they'd be efficient!

Coolio. Yeah, I saw that too about drilling out the washer. Gonna have to speak nicely to a neighbour I think! Brisa: I've had mine just under a year now. I'm averaging about 55mpg. That's mostly commuting through main road and town/ villages, 20 mile round trip daily. Then whatever I do at...

This weekend's job! Out of interest, not done the rear shocks on these Mk3's before. They easy to get out? Can't believe Renault designed the fronts to sit under a scuttle panel, that needs the wiper blades taking off!

Used to get this when fitting poly bushes to V6 Vectra engines. As the polybush mount is stiffer, you feel more vibration through the car, as the engine doesn't have as much room to "move" under load, like it does on a standard rubber bush. Get it checked out, but if it's fitted correctly, I'd...

Torx or star sockets. You can get them at Halfords, eBay, etc.

Haha. Won't be going too low dude. Gonna start at 40mm, maybe go 60mm. See how it feels. Quite a few potholes out this way. :( Also have some silver indicator bulbs, and LEDs for the interior and number plate lights.

Gonna try and fit them this weekend. Will do dude!

Mmmmmmm mmmmm! Coilover goodness! Untitled by johnpape83, on Flickr

We like simple! :D Just need to work out the length of my stud now. :cool:

Personal preference on the Renault Badge. I'll keep mine chrome, as having the same colour car as Lewis, I think it looks better. Considering the spoiler Danny is about £190, then that's not a bad price painted and delivered.

​It leaves holes, and would need smoothing, painting.

That makes sense actually, thinking about it now. All you're doing is replacing the wheel bolt, with a stud. So just get a stud that goes in the same hole, and a nut to keep the wheel in place.

Looking at their (RareRims) tuner nuts, like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121038973486?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Been quoted £1.20 each per stud, and then £27.95 for the set of studs (Comes in a pack of 20, even if I only need 16). ​So £47.15 including postage to mainland UK. So.... My...

Added to the diary, and hopefully can sneak down there and say hello.

What's the details for Silverstone tony? As I'm local might be a nice day out to come see some racing. Might even bring some cookies.

Been reading through this today. As Jesus said, the attention to detail is immense! Love the little touches.

A Horrible b*****d, or a guide? If it's the latter, there is one already... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?407104-Convert-Your-Hubs-To-Studs

I like the look of your nuts Spinksy! x Wonder what'd go well with my wheels/ car colour... P3290871 by johnpape83, on Flickr

Loads of folks running spacers on here. As long as it's not a stupid size, and you use hubcentric spacers, which bolt to the hub, and then the wheels bolts to the spacers, you'll be fine. ​I'm running 20mm spacers all round on my mk3.

Ah right. I know of them. Think I've met them on the one occasion but it was a while ago! Jane who works round the corner is up there just about every week working with them. Small world!

Really? Who's that? I work at head office in Adderbury in IT.

Ah right, only wondered because I work for Ball Colegrave. The Vee looks nice btw! LOL!

Just trees you deal with, or are you into plants too?

What height have you got those coilovers at?

Looks lovely! ​Some of the gappage would kill me though!

Personally not keen on the yellow mirrors, but it looks good. Never seen wheels turned like that before either - looked good until you found they started rubbing. And that they made the car look like it was on stilts! :D

I'm not this year unfortunately. It's the same day as I get back from Holiday.

Cheers dude. Yeah, its under JP's mk3 dci

Hehe. No worries. Was jealous of the mk3 love.
