195/45/16 is standard for the alloys you've got i think, so yeah they will fit and that's what they should have on them, as some people say the tyres are the only thing beween the car and the road, so dont skimp on purely s**t tyres, the ones you've linked will be fine for normal driving and...
25mm spacers will look good for ...well looks, rears spaced out does look good but going that far out make sure its hubcentric with the spacers... i personally would wait, i tired 5mm spacers and ended up not using them, 172 alloys on a 1.2 are okay...
Nankang tyres yep they're alright, they...
I have 172 alloys on my 1.2 fine with no spacers, you do get a bit of rubbing at first on the rear plastic shock covers, it sort of wears through slighty and the slight sound stops, slightly but no actual problems.
for the tyre info there are guides that explain it out there, but briefly, 195...
Not familiar with the specific types of blue colours, but blue non sport, with front and back sport bumpers added, non colour coded side strips and handles...
Wondered if you where on here possibly, good chance with the mods you had..
Was about £12 delivered, after market part not renault... well made, to the eye, old one was well shot so will see what the improvement is after wheel alignment... counted the threads so its close enough what it was before anyway (if that was aligned or not im not sure)
Done now anyway, joint was very loose and clicking about, probably adding to my minor vibration when braking... so cheap and easy think ill do the other side too.
Morning,
Today is my first day i can crack on with the car, up nice and early for me....
Need to change the drivers side track rod end today, got a joint splitter so the questions i want backed up in my head are:
If i count the threads, or im thinking mark it with red paint just for...
Wing mirrors colour coded, handles colour coded (easy DIY spray wise), new fresh plates, blose the speed bumps sticker, normal rear lights, decent aerial (search 'Aerials')
Sheep mods but will make it better: silver indicator bulbs, clear side indicators..

Ive got G1 on my glass, fantastic for the sides and rear, i kind of hate it on the front, i cant have my window open a smidge in the rain because the water just sheets off and comes...
Best? probably standard...
If you want some grunt when you hit the go pedal.. Open pipercross cone is good for that, or probably any open cone,
Not tried myself, but an after market panel such as a K&N in original air box with the cold air feed removed it supposed to also make some noise.
Yeah they are what i use, very good bulbs,
Philips blue vision side bulbs are good too ebay/search those if your side bulbs are 501 fitment, still orange, not LED, but match the night breakers well...
H1 for dipped? thats what came up when i searched for your model of car a while back...
Nice,
I have a Nikon d3000, am neither a Nikon or Canon fan boy atm, just enjoy occasional photography,
Post your account in the photography flickr accounts thread,
Enjoy :)
Yeah you can, you dont have xenon units so its not advised, the beam scatters because its not ment for the halogen units and can blind other drivers, however a lot of people do use HIDs...
I think HIDs are also part of the MOT test now and will fail if you have them without the correct xenon...
Those ebay badges look rough as arse holes...
Can of gloss black spray paint and some keying on the badges, all good, lacquer over for a mirror finish.

I commented on the friends thread about the bulbs,
The white bulbs from ebay non branded are s**t, look pretty and do nothing major for light source etc, there are branded whiter bulbs out there that are recommended by some people, like Philips extreme range i think..
From experience mucking...
Yep they look white, they dont look like xenons because xenons are focused and you can see that,
White bulbs just look like weak HID kits... mostly all of the white bulbs ive tried give out crap light and just look pretty,
Id go with a upgraded performance bulb i.e. Osram nightbreaker...
I love black cars when the sun is setting, that summer evening sky makes any black car that's well looked after look fantastic,
On the other hand it shows up dirt, and dents a black car would have, any swirls etc so badly.
Id got for another black car because i like detailing so to speak, but...
Wouldnt be interested myself in having carbon "covered" alloys because the look defeats the actual object of being light... you would be adding weight for look,
The fully carbon built wheels are obviously rediculously light and therefore have a purpous but it would be plain obvious to have...
