Well Geoff, I know who to send pics to when I get my new wheels!

Dealers always charge far too much for painting, you are much better taking it to a paint/bodyshop who do this sort of work all the time and are more reasonable pricewise. They can match any colour getting the paint code from under the bonnet. Often if you offer to pay in cash, they will...

Just remembered I saw some in the Renault dealers showroom the other week.

Why dont you want the logo on it?

Fred, doesnt it rub off the surface of the clear coat of varnish or whatever it is called?

Black172: Can you please show a picture of your car with the 17s, or is it already in the gallery?

Are you the Geoff in the gallery? If so, your car is lovely, definitely better than the red and the so common silver.

I know what you mean Geoff, as my last car was a gorgeous metallic blue, lowered, Scorpion exhaust, TSW Evo Rs etc etc. Had I not just had a blue car, Id have gone for the blue 172. We still have a lovely blue car. This afternoon I have been good and polished the two of them!

Jamie, do you still have the 17" OZ Super Tourismos on your black 172? Has your car been lowered at all and if not, are you happy with the appearance and handling of it? Thanks GR

Does the wet and dry not scratch the surrounding area?

Thanks for your comments Fred. Hubbys car has even bigger wheels than that! His has got 18" multi-spokes and being a much bigger car than mine and a gorgeous metallic blue, his looks great. Prefer mine though, I can get into smaller parking spaces! But the Clio feels so flimsy compared to the...

Agree with you Wongy about lowering, and I can get my friendly modding mad mechanics to do it for me, as they did everything to my (sadly missed) S16 Pug. I am going for the look rather than the weight! I think that the finer looking Super Leggeras look better on lighter coloured cars and...

I wonder if a permanent black felt marker might touch up the scratches with a bit of polish on the top?

Why will it need lowering? Wont a slightly larger diameter wheel fit the arch better?

The brand new ones from Demon Tweeks with Toyo Proxes, were going to cost me £640 including delivery, and then when I contacted a local wheel/tyre place where I bought new wheels for my last car, they would have let me have them for £600 with the Toyos and fitted with locking nuts and steel...

I dont know when he will be back, but he is conspicuous by his absence!

How did you get the scratches? Are there just a couple, or loads from possibly a bit of grit in a sponge or something like that?

Thanks for your replies Richard and Paula and G13NN X. Are yours OZ Super Ts?

Or try the coloured T-Cut.

My 16" OZ Super Ts have been on order for nearly a month now, and on Friday I was told that they would be another month! Well this morning I had a message to say that there are none in the UK and that OZ only ship them over when they have orders for 400 sets and that probably wont be for...

You might have to wait until BenR gets back from France, as he seems to have a lot of knowledge and information on these things!

I think that clever Ben has gone to France in his new/old XR2 for a couple of days.

Should it be grille?

What is the grill like that you ordered? What is it made of?

I saw some in Halfords today and they were £14.99 per pack of two.

I thought that Nissan Micras have these sensors for the old folk who drive them, to let them know when they are about to hit the car behind them when trying to park!

I have just ordered some from www.powerbulbs.com where they are on offer two sets (front and rear) for £26.95 incl. p&p

Probably BenR!

Demon Tweeks about £40 - £50

I thought you were in Bristol, which I know well as I am originally from Somerset.
