could be something to do with the car being slightly heavyer with a full tank but i know what you mean mine does it too.

its in tamworth mate

yeah it is if you just want to paint them mate. i work in a bodyshop too and we also do minor refurbs. but if they are quite badly damaged and need welding up its ussally cheaper to get a new rim. but other than that we just give them a good clean to remove the crap so we can see whats dirt and...

not sure if this is the right place to ask but as its more polishing than mechanical i thought it would be. any way how do i set about polishing up the plenium and rail guard. is it just a case of wet and dry flatting paper from p400 up to p2000 then a good ol` polish with a rag and some cutting...

i just grey scotch brighted the cover to key it the gave it a GOOD clean with solvent based panel wipe, then sprayed it the base coat (the colour) followed by the laquer. im lucky tho because i did it at work whilst another car was being painted so it didnt cost me anything but if you take it...

thats how you bodge them on lol. to do it properly you mark out the holes, drop the legs out and bolt them up from underneath so the thread of the bolt is showing in the engine bay. so ive been told anyway. was also told that even if you do just self tapper them in you still have to have the...

does anyone know of any in brum? i want to put mine on one before i start tinkering about so i can see what gains im getting (if any) and what im running as standard. ta

taking it to renault would probly be your best bet mate. at least you know you are getting the right part then.

most things on rs models are specific and usually cost twice as much too

+1 i think the standard half leathers are one of the most comfortable seats put into cheapish cars and i drive a hell of a lot of cars.
