I have a set on my Scoob.
I had no idea they are apparently copies of some set of wheels I've never heard of until I've come on here... they were and still are to me, a set of wheels which are smaller and lighter than the god-awful piece of crap wrecked 18s I sold on. After selling/buying, I...
If the first thing is perfect / as good as can be, move on:
Checklist:
1. Moderate > good tyres (no ditch finders, bald or 10 yr old premium rubber).
2. Correct tyre pressures.
3. Geometry.
4. Driving lessons.
Looks daft IMO. It's meant to be there... leave it be.
I barely used the rear one on my Clio but the screen ends up HANGING in winter or generally when there's a week in the month in the UK thanks to the weather. Inherrent aero fail thanks to the hatchback design.
What's broken ...
Penetrating fluid the night before (and maybe the night before that too;) ). Apply liberally, and if you can, find the bolts on the underside and apply liberally there too !
Nail / head / etc.
Further unnecessary proof that Renault dealers appear to be utterly useless.
*Yes yes, there's a few out there... few and far between though.
Get a decent HU - standard ones are pony. A decent Alpine HU with decent HPF/LPF and you're sorted on the bass front with a sub in the boot. Mp3 CD = 10+ CDs in one.
Get a lead from MT AUDIO, stalk controls sorted.

:S
Ph1 + 15's FTW.
Looks better, tyres are cheaper, less rotating weight... OEM.
Done :approve:
(Renault ones are softer than a Dairylea triangle though!)
Once you've sorted it .. wet'n'dry vac, followed by heat (electric fan heater), followed by a bowl of rice in the car.
When driving, a/c on warm and feet. De-humidifies the air, see. But you already knew that.
Guys like him think the same. There's gotta be a few about still, enough BarryBoys turn up on here from time to time.
Infact, just look at barryboys website.... there's enough around.
:dead:
Ok... wonder how long I'll last...
Dusted off the camera for the first time in MONTHS .. this was my first pic of the evening:

Determined not to take 52 pictures of cars... so here's my week 2.
Going to bike into work from now on (hopefully! :o )...
