Will have to see what Renault say, whatever it is, its come from inside the boot lid, and from what some other 197 and 225 owners have said, i'm not the only one

I havent tried too hard to remove it as it has definately damaged the paintwork. Its quite textured where the rust is. Thought I was better making it obvious to Renault what the damage was rather than masking it and then when it goes in them saying 'Theres nothing wrong Mr. Thomas'

Suppose it could be, still f**ked my bumper though!

$5?

Pretty sure its rust mate. The marks on the bumper line up perfectly both sides with the drain holes in the boot lid. Also, they are under the boot lid, so its not stuff getting in there. TBH there was pretty much no muck where the rust marks are and if I used my boot more would have noticed...

I intend to decal it up a bit more, make it look a bit more cup racer-esque. I got these when I saw them and put them on, and just havent been able to source the other bits I want yet.

:O Worse than mine was!

iirc 197 doesn't need it....

Sorry about the file sizes. Forgot to resize, have sorted them now though. DINK: Some of the rust is on top of the paint finish, but only because it has come through the drain hole you can see in the second picture. I can inly presume its rusting inside and coming out through there...

This was going to be just a detailed thread, but as you may have guessed by the thread title, its a bit more interesting than that, but as it was going to be a detailing thread, I am going to carry on and write it as one. So this morning I decided it was about time the Cup got some attention in...

think those are the ones, or atleast similar. cheers

Re: someph-ing different........... :( delays ftl! Also if they arent up in 2 mins then I wont get to see them untill tomorrow!

could it not be that the exhaust cam is the same on both or something like that?

I am sure I have seen on here or another forum before Harnesses that you can run with the rear seats in and they plugged into the seat belt anchors just like a normal belt? Have I dreamnt it or do such a thing exist? If they do, where can I get them?

;)

have a look at kevo66's setup. Smaller battery then ITG Maxogen with feed from the wheel arch.

the locking wheel bolts are added at the import centre so you should have had a plastic box with 4 normal wheel bolts and the key in it.

all about the risk your willing to take. when the risk involves spending a tenner, its not worth it imo.

the vibration is caused by the wheels moving much like an unbalanced wheel. This will be happening all the time even though you may not notice it all the time. This movement will be putting additional stress of parts and therefore may cause them to fail.

I'm sure they will refurb them if you pay them to...

get koni to refurb the ones you got then?

basically an aftermarket intake and inlet manifold system that will rival ITBs but do things ITBs cant do - run without an aftermarket ECU

mk3 ph1 couldnt stand out much more than it did without looking barry imo

How about people just stop speculating on price? From everything that Icarus has said on here and to me in person, this is going to be an amazing product offering excellent gains per £ spent.

another thing i just noticed... it has ph1 rear lights.... not the ones on the GT

foam should be in the hidden depths of the glove box. thats where mine was/is

Glacier white was an 'i.d. paint option' and it was only couple hundred quid.

:S Not sure on that, would have to see it though.

presume your gonna have to be running bonnet pins? If so I'd stick with standar bonnet and carbon pins as that looks mean as f**k

I agree ;)
