He floored it from the top of the hill & the bike just sat with it, they both stopped at the lights at the bottom of the hill.

I like the white wheels tbh.

Yeah course it would be fine, just check that they don't rub (which they shouldn't do)

^ It depends if the car has faded a bit or not tbh. Only way to find out is to put them two bits together.

I don't think i've ever seen pics of it on here. Tbh that ad is quite poor - I mean " female owner so very clean" I bet if you called up & asked about servicing etc, they wouldn't know.

I love the line "bloody fast car" Which equates to - I regularly thrash the pants off of it !

Proper car paint places are spot on, they really know their stuff.

against a motorbike ! On the heathway hill ! About 19.15 tonight, no reg but they'd know who they are if they're on here.

yep - they give you the swatch for you car, you take it over to the car & see which ones the right shade car colour. Sometimes they'll give you a pile of them (for one colour !)

They aren't the cheapest at all, they are within a tenner of Greenlights quote. I've never had a problem with Elephant at all ever (been with them for four years now) If you call at night -it's a different story.

Try MATT BLACK from specialist Renault breakers.

If any of you have a local car paint shop give them a try. Just because a colour might be (for example) Diamond White - don't just give them the code for it as there could be more than one shade. They have swatches for each colour so you can match perfectly (say if the paint has faded slightly...

Don't do it ever !! If your with them call them during the day, that way they will understand you & you will be able to understand them - the phone line will also be normal too (none of that crackly rubbish):rolleyes: Spoke to a dude the other day, £15.00 to add an aftermarket air filter to...

Never call elephant out of hours they are utterly sh*t !!! Give them a call tomorrow during the day, you'll get someone who undetstands you & someone you can understand.

Hmmm - i'd leave them off tbh. I think they'd look too much like viper stripes (imo)

The brakes on my dads 172 are a lot lot sharper than those on my vee, in the 172 i've almost head butted the screen when braking while driving it, they are very sharp. On the vee they are more progressive & no where near as sharp as the 172 (maybe it's down to the four posts vees have ?)

I'd do it without them on the bumper first, then see if I liked it before going the whole way.

The one above is the correct one - like I said, it was a renault press car. Some people choose not to have the stripes on the rer bumper though.

As that car was a press car the stickers & spaces should be spot on (in theory);)

It's not cheap at all. If it were a cat D etc they'd be very luck to get 10k for it, they'd probably get about 8.5k I bet when you call up it'll have had about 6 owners too. I paid more than that though for mine (it is blue though, one of eight blue mk1's in the uk:) ) & mint as (those who...

I was just about to say Nick Reads old car ! The L reg plate must be the original one as when he sold it he said he was keeping the K boost plate.

not seen it, but it sounds gash from whats been written (typcal fast car charriot) imo.

I can't wait for the pics, very very rare on a H reg. Most of the H reg valvers are ex cup race cars, so this ones rare as ! What colour is it ?

fooking hideous, you can just imagine the driver posing in it thinking that the car is the envy of everyone - idiot.

I'd go lower tbh. As I said for 7k it would have to be totally mint (let alone the joke asking price they want for it)

Looks good, I think the silver calipers look great. I much prefer silver to the red or yellow people do them in, silvers nice & subtle.

^ why ?? what do you you pay etc ?

Real carbon fibre for £14.99 ? Hmmm.

Nice one Ad - I wasn't sure if they were the real deal or not (as I put in my post) Shame you can't see anythnig out of them though:dapprove:

Yeah cambelt is five years or 72k - tbh it's a lot of money, you could get an 04 reg 182 for that price. I'd say it's worth about 7k absolute absolute top end in mint condition.
