I had this problem, I was stupid enough not to use hub-centric spacers and the because of the width of the spacer the whole weight of the car was on the bolts. I didnt realise and any speed above 50 caused a violent shake. As soon as someone who knew what they were doing explained this to me i...
Ultimate fantasy would be to own a car with alot more power that it looks like it has. An expensive fantasy! Thanks for your comments, just needed my dream squashed haha
I always seem to get sarcasm thats all. Im not overly experienced with cars, suppose its just a little frustrating when you get that kind of response. Water.Ducks.Back :)
Jaff,
What kind of power gain would it achieve?
Okay, I wonder how many will think 'whats the point?' but I wonder what price a port and polish would be for my ph1 1.2 16v?
I know its not worth it money wise but if anyone has a price id like to know. I bet not many would throw cash at a 1.2 like that!
Thanks
Gotta love the haters......everyone wants a nice car, every person has different limitations and budget. Its gonna take me ages to do mine as I work so much and its a daily....
Dont know how many of you have used this but I found a similar product by a better known brand.....
And they do that special grey everyone wets themselves for....

Sorry if this is a re post but has anyone used this before?? Im thinking of getting a couple of cans in a secret colour! Does it work if sprayed onto a rough surface? Say the side billets or will i have to sand them down.
Apparently you just peel it off when you get bored of it so i thought...
I just picked these up for an absolute bargain down the scrappy, they were meant to be reserved but I convinced the guy to sell them to me! Not sure whether to sell them or put them on the clio? Any ideas? Cheers
You know what? Of all the people that ive spoken too about this, not one has mentioned 'hub-centric' and they all claim to be professionals! After a quick google I feel like a right tool! Its so obvious now lol! Getting these wheels off right now, and putting the standard 14"s on until something...
Lovely, your comment is greatly appreciated. Why even comment? Im looking for help hence my starting the thread! I hate people that give forums a bad name by trolling people with less knowledge than themselves!
Ive never done anything I thought would endanger myself or other road users, Ive...
I found out the problem, the spacers im using are too wide and the alloy is not connected to the spigot ring or so the mecahnic says, due to this ill never rid the shake? Im going to sell the wheels (not on here as you all know ive attacked them with a file!) and look out for the 15" ph2...
Damn, really wondered why the FAQ didnt have any information on legality! Ive seen loads of dubs with german plates! My dads a copper so I might just ask him if its something i get pulled for??
I was thinking of getting some steel pressed plates like the french standard ones, are these legal in the UK? They would have the F badge but other than that look legal?
Thanks
Seeing as I get stick im going to post a little problem I have; Since putting the new alloys on Ive had horrible steering wheel shaking above 70mph. Had the wheels balanced and its still there :( Any ideas, they are fixed using extended bolts and spacers. Thanks
