Decided to take it off just because it was a different shade black to the splitter. Thinking about spraying all my plastics black soon so may look into doing it again! Thinking about taking off the side stickers now but not 100% sure.
Yeah back to standard plates, the bloke who owned the car before me claimed them back lol. So decoded to get some pressed plates. Not to bothered though the private ones didnt mean anything to me anyways :)
Carbon wrapped my mirrors which took about 2 hours but was definitely worth it. Painted my break callipers also to get the colour scheme going. They stand out loads now, so what I plan to do is buy some black "Renault" calliper stickers to make them more subtle. Will get some pics up when there...
On route to Liverpool. Cars on its way to how I want it but still loads to do :). Stripped the back seats out, sounds awesome now from the inside with loads more grunt. No more lifts for people now ;)
Bullets only took me an hour, no way near perfect so will redo in the future but alright for now. I'm going go a grey, silver, black and yellow colour scheme.
What do people reckon? Thinking about making the wheels stand out for the summer? Thinking nice and bright like blue, green, yellow, red, orange, purple?
Would anyone do a cheeky photoshop? :) thanks
I've now removed the vinyl from the front bumper. I will be painting the callipers this week, cleaning the engine bay and will be painting the lettering on the bullets yellow soon.
Is there no way that I could contact DVLA and explain that the seller still hasn't sent me the logbook yet? And also that I was promised the private plates, and that the previous ower of the car has reclaimed them? I bought the car from a dealer you see and not privately.
I know it sounds a...
Ok ill give them a call first thing tomorrow as well. Feel like punching myself ATM.
Ita not like the reg means anything to me, it's the fact it's probably worth a couple of hundred quid!
I bought my 172 about 3 months ago which came with a private reg. I was informed that I would receive the logbook and the original reg from the seller within 6 weeks, which didn't happen and now it has been 3 months.
The bloke I bought the car from was a class A **** and obviously still hasn't...
Thanks for the publicity ;). I like them for the time being as they match my new rims but as you can tell a lot of people don't haha! If you like them get them mate. £5 on eBay with a large choice of colours!
Thanks for all your replies. Managed to get them on in the end but there still well too tight. Just hope they'll come off the hubs when I need to change the tyres lol. Went round the inside with sandpaper which helped get them on.
There deffo not comming off and now they are flush with the hub...
Ok mate thanks for you help, just sanded down the inside of one of them with some 120 will have another go! Think its gunna take a while bit should work!
Yeah the bolts line up spot on! That's strange though coz with the pic I've uploaded says 60.1? Just measured inner ring and I,d say its bang on 60 mm. The outer ring measures about 67mm.
No paint inside so can't be that. Have just tried sanding them down a little bit inside but don't think it's gunna make much difference :(. Think they may have to be bored out then?
