    My windscreen

    I got my windscreen replayced a while back cos of a big stone cracking the old one. Got it done for £50 through direct line. They put the heat repelling one in instead, which I dont mind, as I know its a lot more expensive and has a purpose. But, theres a problem, it has imperfections on...

    Advice on my cup!

    To cut a long story short...the paint job on my bonnet is sh*te! Its covered in stone flakes (not chips as renault keep saying). They wont do a thing for me so Ive got some cash together to get it sprayed properly. The thing is, do I go to the bodyshop that my dealer uses or someone that I...

    Have I got it

    Ive read so much about this 4000rpm rattle Im wondering if Ive got it aswell? I do get a rattle at 4000rpm, normally when doing about 83 mph, more so than in the lower gears. Ive tried listening out with the window open, as some of you say it sounds like a tractor, but I hear nothing. Is...

    1st service done

    Just got her back (not clean though!!) and it was cheaper than the inital quote. I was told itd cost £175 but after I said about no pollen filter, which stumped him, it came down to £119. Top job.

    Paint work!

    Ive read and posted a few messages on dodgy paint jobs on cups. Mine has some large chips on the bonnet. Basically, they shouldnt be this big but are stone chips at the end of the day (Chips Away told me its been resprayed!!). The body shop said before they cant do f**k all. So, my baby went...

    HELP NEEDED!

    Ive read a couple of posts about chipped bonnets and if I remember correct, someone got a respray for the hassle. Ive got a cup and within the first month of owning her (from new) some rather large chips appeared. Theyre definately bigger than what I would call normal sized stone chips...

    CUP windscreen

    The other week I got a big-ish spider crack on my windscreen. As Im with direct line I get it changed with only a 50 quid excess which is ok. However, when on the blower to autoglass/autowindscreens I was asked what colour tint my car should have. Then, I didnt know, now i do. Green is the...

    SONY MDX8500R head unit

    Just fitted my sony head unit, minidisc, great. But its very tight when it finally clicks in. Ive noticed an extrusion at the back of the appliture which might be causing this but not sure. Has anyone else fitted a sony head unit? I have noticed in the clio options brochure, they used a sony...

    Tyre profile!

    I recently had my front tyres replace on my cup. The same contis were fitted but they look slightly different. I have checked all the numbers, profile etc... and theyre exactly the same as the originals in the rear. It may be because they have full tread but they dont look as square head-on...

    Tyres

    Whats the general thoughts on the standard ContiSportContacts? I havent had a problem with them but I know Ill have to change all 4 next time round having just fitted new ones on the front. What are the other options, Ive heard a lot about the Eagle F1s but arent they pricey?

    Do I-Don’t I

    Is it worth lowering my cup. I wouldnt do it for looks but purely for road holding. Also, would it cause rubbing?

    LOWERING

    Im looking to lower my cup, not for looks but to improve the fun if you know what I mean? Do I go for the pricier Eibachs, how much do I lower by, are there better garages to go to to get it dont? Also, mainly, will it rub at all? I hardly ever have 3 in the car but you never know, there are...

    Renault trackday

    Was anyone on the Renault trackday back in June on the 27th? I was chatting to a couple of people about the K-TEC Racing twin exhausts. But being the goldfish Iam, cant remember what was said about them!! Are they worth it or is it just a noise and cosmetic thing? Also, a couple of cups...

    Seats

    Does anyone know when R-Sport will be releasing the optional extras for the cup that all the dealers (and the brochure) promises? I have phoned them and they basically said i have to have a seat made to fit me. I was thinking that they were going to make a nice sparco type blue alacantara...

    Which oil

    I have a Cup and my local Renault dealer told me they use Castrol GTX 10 W 40 oil. As my trust with dealerships is near enough non existant (mainly due to my last car, built by those chaps at Ford), it would be great to hear your advice on here...who i do trust by the way. We all know that...
