You could say he was only a stones throw away.

They'll probably just force him to apologise to you. Quite rightly so. You state it's a little chip. Does it require a repair or windscreen replacement? Windscreen chips can usually be sorted for free on your insurance. If it was to the bodywork I'd be inclined to go on and on about it and...

You mention trying TalkTalk. I'm with them (cheap, innit). They are OK until you need to speak to someone. Horrific customer service skills from some of their staff, yet another day you may get a competent one. It's just something to bare in mind if you are expecting to have issues going forwards.

I wouldn't recommend the larger arrow area to the right. You'll probably crush the rails, knock the under seal and eventually end up with rust.

If I understand you correctly, that will be the part that has a U clip/tool clip which holds it to the subframe support bar.

The bonnet on my old one flipped up before the recall. The bonnet and screen were replaced and the roof just bashed back 'good enough'. I fact, I never noticed it when I bought the car until I was washing it once.

Both brands are made to equal standards I'd imagine. I forget which manufacturer K tec rebranded. May be Raceland. It's worth noting that the height pictured was after I'd wound the unit down a fair old way as a starting point with loads of threads left, fitted it and then realised it was...

You asked for images of Ktec ones.

My 197 boot release appears to be playing silly buggers. In the past, pressing the unlock button on the remote a few times would be enough to open all the doors including the boot, as I found it necessary to click it a couple of times to open the drivers and passenger door. Recently I noticed...

A longer lasting exhaust.

I also had second thoughts when I first bought my 6S thinking how bloody huge it was. Was using it alongside my 5S for a good few days and kept asking myself why I bothered changing as the 5 is (IMO) much nicer aesthetically (when naked) and small enough to use one handed with little risk of...

Your floodlight wiring offends my eyes. From someone with such an eye for detail, it comes as a surprise that you'd not have it lovey and neat :D

Messy mare.

Wasted on a daily. Buy a spare set of wheels for track use, fit the R888s to those wheel and swap over/chuck in the boot to change at your track day. I just think it's a bit silly to run them daily, book a track day 7,000 miles down the road, attend the day and finish them to then think how...

Even after an 8 hour shift?

Administer 2 Weetabix. Get someone to sit in and hold their foot on the brake pedal. The reduction in movement will assist you.

@jesus Did he ever write back to you?

205 FTW

Perhaps cool for a day or two. Until you pop to the shops or visit your nan and feel like you're trying too hard to be 18 again. Acceptable if reasonably standard aesthetically, with an engine transplant. Not acceptable IMO if you are going to fit a luminescent lanyard to your keys, make it...

I want to buy this car.

A few years ago they were probably one of the best buys in the RS scene in the mid to late teens.

The older the cars get, the less important they are - from a manufacturers point of view. Renault aren't obliged to continue supplying 1*2 parts at all, but do so as there is still demand. The quantity of parts they have produced are lower in number, thus unit costs increase.

I've an alloy wheel with a fairly substantial flat spot. Could any members within the South West recommend a company that can straighten wheels? I'm not looking for a bodyshop/wheel painter. The face is fine still. It's the rear of the wheel that's been knocked in a pot hole. I would take a...

You could turn them in to driving lights.

I repaired this some years ago now. Good to see it's still about.

Do you have a dash cam fitted?

Yeah, your biggest problem is everyone now thinks their 205 is worth thousands. People are chancing their arm advertising a ropey example up there with the nicer original vehicles.

Weird isn't it, when you see people like that and in reality he would have likely 'only' been in his mid 40s when he bought it if he was 70 (for arguments sake).

Yeah sounds like something is not right. Definitely shouldn't do that.
