Phoned Norwich Union earlier out of curiosity - What i understood was that I could replace my wheels with any genuine Renault wheels at no extra cost on my premium, I simply just had to inform them that they were not the standard wheels that the car came with :) Think it costs an arm and a leg...

You can normally polish most little scratches out can't you?

Lol that's quite funny :D

:D Looks alright! Kind of used to it as most cars in the mountains put steelies when they start using winter tyres :)

That's useful :p Mk2 Ph1 1.4 16v

Couple of valvers being broken or parts on CS aren't there? Might be a cheap(er) fix

I think he's mounted them under the bumper rather than cut his bumper up ;)

Really? Anyone got any pics? ;)

Haha brilliant :D

Hate to be dumb but are they 16"? They look real nice!

They say "Dezent" on them so I would hazzard a guess that they're not polo ones ;)

Windows don't always get etched if you get them replaced anyway ie. if someone smashes one

Colour code the bump strips, the bumpers, the door and boothandles, clear side indicators and then the twin headlamps as on some later clio models :)

Get it mixed at a local spray shop - they should colour match it and it'll be less that a tenner a can. Failing that ask Renault, but they charge a bit more. Think it was about £15 a can when i had to respray my mirror cover. Perfect match though :)

Give up moaning and take it to a spray shop?

It's just the angle that you look at it! A photo of pearlescent paint will rarely look like it does in person

Is there not a little switch on the side of the dash (have to open the door to see it)?

Winamp can do it iirc. So can iTunes. Both free :)

Dunno mate for sure but I'd imagine so though! Can't be that hard :D Maybe search the forums to see if anyone's asked it before? Probably quite a common question to be honest ;)

Pull it a bit?

To be honest though, i'd imagine it would be a pain in the ass to get the perfect mix to match it up! Parked next to a Scenic of the same colour today, but it wasn't exactly the same colour (if you get me).

Right so if I swapped my alloys for a set of eg. 172/182 etc alloys then they should be fine about it? Might give the insurance co. a bell in the emorning :)

Same colour as mine! Didn't know it was called platinum silver? The guy at the Renault garage told be it was "Boreal Metal Grey". I think it just looks funny on some cars because of the angle that you look at it from? Like sometimes it's bluey silver and sometimes it's yellowy silver. And when...

Classic :D So if you get replace 1 set of renault alloys with another set of renault alloys, irrespcetive of which model they came off, then the insurance companies won't be too worried? Or have i got the wrong end of the stick here :D

Those wheels look nice :) What are they?

lol

Same here ;) Hoping it'll be around the 250 mark by then :)

Eeejit - Is that in Russia or something?

I did the same - whole unit. Can get them off the Bay for about 25 squid iirc

Sweet! how much was it?
