Just found this : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Renault-Clio-...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item439c4febd9

Did a search and don't think it's a repost

i just found that awell, front shocks look battered and those welds dont look right :s not bad at £280 but still looks a bit off

Yeah I saw them last night, not sure on the 'alterations' either.

Good price though, for now...

 

[d4ve86]

depends really a rebuild could cost a small fortune + the spare parts are so expensive from R Sport

I didn't look that closely at the pictures tbh, i see what you mean though

 

[Da]

True, plus I think he confuses people by failing at explaining what they will/will not fit.

 

[d4ve86]

they will fit anything you just gotta make them fit, but the fornt units look terrible, and having bits welded in etc for camber "take the spacers out" .... what!?

 

[Da]

Yeah, we know that - I meant Joe Public who will be browsing eBay.

As for the spacers, doesn't he mean the Cup hubs are slightly thicker?

 

[d4ve86]

i dont think they are, they are laguna hubs, use a slightly larger bearing but other than that i think they are the same.

he is selling the hubs aswell, ive sent him a message about them

 

[Jonny1*2]

how easy are the fronts to adjust to cup hubs dave?

 

[d4ve86]

im not excalty sure what he has done, from the email he sent me it looks as if the laguna hubs are slightly wider, so Da you were right they are slightly thinker so there are spacers for the road car hubs. however im not sure about the other alterations and how they would affect fitting to a road car's hubs,

adjusting is easy if its just the bolt spacing you just take an air file to the bottom hole and go up or down to fit your spacing!

ah right is the top bolt always the same regardless of hub. Presume any garage could do this then? or is it a MF special
