This should help explain my comment on the wheel arches :P The wheels are as big as I'd like them to be, that suspension just needs dropped considerably
13" ? thats a 16, the car did originally have 15" alloys. Problem is the massey ferguson wheel arches on these mk 3's. I think some lowering is in order
Finally got it totally finished after the crash, needed a new bumper, wing, headlight, rear axle and had to replace that dented alloy. So I used this as an excuse to get myself a bigger set of wheels, found a bargain on gumtree, 100 quid for 4 megane alloys. Also managed to sell the old 15 inch...
ha, it was less of a pothole and more of a totally vertical drop at the side of the road, unfortunately it was midnight so no pictures in the hole, but the car couldn't be seen from the road :P
yea, know a guy with his own place for painting, 600 quid for the bumper, wing and scratches down the door
Think I'll get a lot of the mouldings on the bumper colour coded at the same time, so some good will have come out of it :P
got some of the parts today, 210 quid for a new non genuine bumper and wing and a new renault headlight, thats the only real damage to the front apart from the bar under the radiator that needs pulled out a bit. The bad news is we're not sure if the back axle is bent or if the wheel is just buckled
Unfortunately not, I'm only 18 wouldn't be able to afford the renewal premium, its in the garage and I'm looking at about £1000 to fix it before paint, so it could be worse
my mk3 has awful black plastic handles and mirror covers, gonna colour code the mirrors but are the handles easily changed to the silver ones that come as standard on models with a better spec?
Only thing is, ordered these before the other grills came to mind, opinions?
