Link doesn't work as you can't link from your own pc. Upload them to Photobucket or similar. As for the insurance, I wouldn't suggest misleading them about the wheels personally. Check here for other Renault fitments: http://www.alloyguide.com/Renault.php

Nice car. i also went from a Vectra to a Clio! :) The vent surrounds should pop off. They're tight, but carefully pry them off and you should be able to get to the vent.

The rear washer that needs to be drilled out on the Mk3. Is it the big cupped washer? ​Just enquiring before I take it apart this week.

I suspect it then ventures into the realm of notifying the dvla of the colour change too...

Keep the silver and black in my opinion. Looks nice. ​I'll have some 40mm FK springs coming up soon. Will have done less than 300 miles.

Always used HEL Performance in the past for my motorbikes and car. However, they're based down deepest, darkest Devon (Exeter way).

Oh right, haha! Hello mate! If it's just a penny washer, say, you can get them online, B&Q, Halfords, etc. Like here for example: http://www.qvsdirect.com/M10-Penny-Washers-10mm-pr-19175.html ​

For the Rear shocks? I did ask Adam, but they only come with the shocks. I'm going to measure mine up though when I take them off to drill them out, and then see about getting some made up for the new dimensions. (Not sure if it's the same for MK2's, but this will be on a MK3 with AP coilovers...

Ordered with Adam! :cool:

I assumed so. Cool. Will give Adam a ring for pricing then. Thanks Danny.

Replacing my standard suspension with coilovers. Car has done just shy of 70k, is it worth replacing these too? ​

​Yeah, I just simplified it. ;) To the OP, save your money. Insurance is bad enough as it is. I've waited till now to do any serious modifications to any car, and I'm 29!

Failure to declare, and getting into an accident will quite possibly invalidate the insurance, meaning the driver can then be done for driving without (valid) insurance.

​Haha, yeah. Being Germans too, you'd think they'd be efficient!

Coolio. Yeah, I saw that too about drilling out the washer. Gonna have to speak nicely to a neighbour I think! Brisa: I've had mine just under a year now. I'm averaging about 55mpg. That's mostly commuting through main road and town/ villages, 20 mile round trip daily. Then whatever I do at...

This weekend's job! Out of interest, not done the rear shocks on these Mk3's before. They easy to get out? Can't believe Renault designed the fronts to sit under a scuttle panel, that needs the wiper blades taking off!

Used to get this when fitting poly bushes to V6 Vectra engines. As the polybush mount is stiffer, you feel more vibration through the car, as the engine doesn't have as much room to "move" under load, like it does on a standard rubber bush. Get it checked out, but if it's fitted correctly, I'd...

Torx or star sockets. You can get them at Halfords, eBay, etc.

Haha. Won't be going too low dude. Gonna start at 40mm, maybe go 60mm. See how it feels. Quite a few potholes out this way. :( Also have some silver indicator bulbs, and LEDs for the interior and number plate lights.

Gonna try and fit them this weekend. Will do dude!

Mmmmmmm mmmmm! Coilover goodness! Untitled by johnpape83, on Flickr

We like simple! :D Just need to work out the length of my stud now. :cool:

Personal preference on the Renault Badge. I'll keep mine chrome, as having the same colour car as Lewis, I think it looks better. Considering the spoiler Danny is about £190, then that's not a bad price painted and delivered.

​It leaves holes, and would need smoothing, painting.

That makes sense actually, thinking about it now. All you're doing is replacing the wheel bolt, with a stud. So just get a stud that goes in the same hole, and a nut to keep the wheel in place.

Looking at their (RareRims) tuner nuts, like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121038973486?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Been quoted £1.20 each per stud, and then £27.95 for the set of studs (Comes in a pack of 20, even if I only need 16). ​So £47.15 including postage to mainland UK. So.... My...

Added to the diary, and hopefully can sneak down there and say hello.

What's the details for Silverstone tony? As I'm local might be a nice day out to come see some racing. Might even bring some cookies.

Been reading through this today. As Jesus said, the attention to detail is immense! Love the little touches.
