From what I've read on here . The mintex discs can be a problem . They have the wrong amount of teeth on the ABS ring . Better of sticking with oem discs and pads for the rear . Like i said in your other post , message adam @wolverhampton renault . He sells them on ebay too ...
They're not Brembo discs mate , the advert makes it sound like they are , they're just Brembo pads .
Have a word with George @G 172 . He's the main man on here for brake discs and pads .
Mines standard suspension all round . Like i said before , just give it a few miles and see how it feels , maybe have a play about upping the pressure slightly . I think Rainsports are a bit Marmite , some love em some hate em . Personally i think they're a very good tyre , especially in the wet...
It definitely doesn't move around under hard braking , there maybe some slight flex in the tyre wall when cornering fast , but I'd come from Rainsport 2's which when i had fitted the first time was definitely more noticeable after Michelin PE2's . You sort of get used to it after a while . What...
The k-tec carbon ones break too :openmouth: . Skoda Fabia for me . Cheap as chips , easy to fit , look oem to the untrained eye and is flexible if something should hit it :smile:
Yeah it'll pass the MOT no problem mate . They're not that much whiter than oem , just slightly . Like i said before . Renault wanted something like £90 a bulb lol .
I think it is , I'm not 100% sure to be honest . I know a few people on here have them . If you do a search you'll probably get a better idea of what they are like .
That was another thing i noticed about mine , as well as going slightly pink and going on an off , they weren't lighting the road up like they did when it was new . The 5000k ones are better imo than the 4300k oem ones as they're slightly brighter / whiter ( not blue ) and they really light the...
I have one , and yeah they are quite loud , I think one of the reasons is because they don't have a centre box . As said above , with a decat it can be a bit too loud at times .
I've never used it in the engine bay , so can't comment on that . I've used it on the scuttle panel , rear bumper insert and the black plastic around the wing mirrors and it was fine. Mine gets dirty anyway due to driving it , I just give it a wash lol . WD40 is a good , cheap fix imo .
Firstly . How do you know it's the ballast ? My bulbs would intermittently go out , then come back on again . I bought 2 new bulbs on the advice of others on here from .

I've had some Uniroyal Rainsport 3's on for just over a week now , with 250 miles under their belt . I was impressed with the old Rainsport 2's i had taken off , and these are equally impressive , especially in the wet .
Had Rainsport 3's fitted for just over a week now and clocked up about 250 miles . Coming from Rainsport 2's , which i was massively impressed with , especially in the wet , I'm just as impressed with the Rainsport 3's in both the wet and dry .
Without wanting to state the obvious . Have you rung any PDR guys in your area ? It'll only cost a few mins of your time and they'll tell you roughly over the phone if it's possible to remove or not .
Get your fingers under either side of the insert and just full very hard . There are 2 cllips that hold it onto the steering wheel . Don't worry , you can pull very very hard , they won't break .
I'd be gutted too mate , to be honest . The quality doesn't look very good for the price you paid , especially when you compare it to all those Snappy retrims . Plus retriming over the thumb grips just looks all wrong , imo .
£2500 does seem a bit low. Try and find a few more adverts , say on autotrader , Pistonheads etc .... for cars of a similar age and mileage but higher priced then contact your insurance company and show them . There are quite a few around the £3500 mark ...
There were 2 cup packs . One had lower , stiffer suspension , about 3mm iirc and anthracite wheels . The 2nd cup pack was the cup spoiler and front splitter . According to the heritage website 343 Racing Blues came with the suspension package and 301 came with the spoiler / splitter package ...
