    Has anyone got a proven mat cleaning method

    Title says it all really but over the years I've tried all the usual upholstery and carpet cleaners, hanging the mat on the fence and hitting it with the pressure washer. I've thought about putting them in a hot bath but not sure what Mrs A may say. The Renaultsport mats are too expensive to...

    Can they do that as part of the powder coating then as obviously the centres are plastic

    Cup wheels - centre cap question

    I'm looking at getting a set of 182 cup alloys (anthracite) refurbed. There are a few marks on the centre caps, what's the best option, obviously I'm guessing spraying them, is there a common paint code anyone is aware of. I've done a bit of a search before posting but can't find anything

    These guys do a nice job - VIN decal

    After a bit of help from Mat on here and a lot of exchanging of emails and a vernier gauge I got myself a new B pillar VIN decal produced from the guys at Diginate. If anyone is needing to replace a damaged or tatty one I can recommend them. They have retained a sample file in my name on...

    Bonnet rust - why?

    Well I've looked at 2 Cups recently and both were rusting in same place. I just wondered if anyone had investigated the cause. Just seems strange with it occurring in the same place on the bonnet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bonnet rust - why?

    What is it that makes the front o/s leading edge of the bonnet rust on the phase 2 Clios. My Trophy seems to have escaped it up to now but many cars seem to suffer from it. I could understand it on wheelarches and sills where dirt gets trapped but the bonnet surely keeps fairly clean. Is it a...

    Does anyone know this car?

    Not a lot by the look of the ad. Just the usual R Performance premium

    Does anyone know this car?

    No mate. I think they wanted about £6k for that and had both cup packs as I recall

    Does anyone know this car?

    It's a trader selling it Rob. No history/service book etc with it though, tells me it's lost and he's trying to find it. I've done an MOT history check and the mileage history all looks ok I've been trying to speak to previous owner but all numbers on internet for him draw a blank.

    Racing blue

    Strange. My mate had similar issues with a car and they said they wouldn't accept trade cars as the prices had such things as prep charges, warranty etc included in the price

    Racing blue

    They won't offer you dealer retail on it so there's little point sending them pics of trade cars. It could be worse it could be a Trophy, insurers list those as a 182 Sport too, some real horror stories of owners getting now where near what they are selling for

    Half done

    Given I did 600 miles in this car last year and the fact I've been driving cars with cross drilled discs since the 1980s without an issue I can't honestly say I'm troubled by concerns, when top end manufacturers like AP make them I think a bit of propaganda by EBC is hardly worth worrying about.

    Half done

    Hi Chris. Rings were perfect thanks, I just warmed them with the hot air gun and they pushed on fine, I was going to send you a photo by PM anyway. I managed to get the old ones off the original discs so I can maybe carry on the favour some time

    Half done

    Hi. No I didn't get them off eBay, I bought them off another owner on the forum. They were still in the inner boxes wit the Brembo part nos which cross referenced to their parts so I can only presume they are right. I only paid £70 for the full set so can't complain really.

    Half done

    After picking up a set of brembos with pads cheap I've spent a few hours in the garage braving the cold. I've fitted the offside set .The job was fairly straightforward helped by a previous owner using liberal amounts of copper grease here and there. I had to press new bearings in and fit abs...

    Getting a new B pillar VIN sticker

    I've read a couple of posts suggesting that a new VIN sticker. (The one above the oval paint code sticker on the drivers B pillar) can be obtained from Renault via their dealers. Has anyone actually managed to do this and if so what's the process, guessing you need to produce your V5 and ID...

    Changing under bonnet fuse box ?

    The catch which locks the lid onto the lower half of the under bonnet fuse box (the triangular shape unit on the inner wing next to the battery)has been snapped off at some time. It's not a major problem but I would like it to be right really. The plastic catch should be part of the lower...
