Only if you wash it in the bath for me when it gets dirty x

You could join him and wash your wheels together

 

[Jekyll]

Done.

 

[Jekyll]

Only if he touches just the wheels, otherwise it's a bit gay.

But I could be swayed.

Has anyone mentioned yet that 330mm is the best size of steering wheel? :smile:

330mm it is

I had a feel of marks at CSF and it did feel good tbf.

I'll assume you're talking about his steering wheel there :smile::smile:

Yes "steering wheel" 😂

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, gotta love CS love!

"steering wheel" and "shift knob" I heard mentioned. Sounded a bit dodgy to me!

My Trophy spoiler arrived today :smile: Rather than going for the Italian replica I took a punt on one of the fibreglass ones that have currently become available on ebay. This has been moulded from a genuine trophy spoiler and you can even see the 'renault' writing on the underside. I will need some smaller struts, but i had seen that this is also the case on some of the new italian reps and I also prefer the single line on top rather than the two the rep has. Horses for courses i guess.

I have only taken a few photos, but it'll soon be taken to a bodyshop to be painted Black Gold and I'm proper excited! I'll obviously trial fit it first

I'll be having this area smoothed out as this is the place where the rear washer would usually be but as i'm not running a dewiper it isn't necessary

I had also heard that these spoilers sometimes dont sit flush with the roof, however i compared it to my spare cup spoiler and it look like it'll be perfect. Be able to tell better once it's in place.

Uww looking forward to seeing this. I have been looking at this very spoiler so if you don’t mind I will maybe come meet you one day when it’s fitted and have a look. Saw the car in the uni car park today

Nope. Bought the light on ebay for £8. It's just a standard brake light from a 1.2/172 standard spoiler.
Part number: 7700844706

Obviously used, but good enough tbh. Either that or get yourself to a scrap yard.

Stop it you :kissingheart: It's actually polished and waxed this time!

 

[cb10]

Oh really

Car didn't start this morning... Had to walk to work

Sup with it you reckon?

 

[leeds2592]

Oil starvation?

 

[Louis]

It's a shed

 

[Louis]

But either battery is knackered or it's just a loose earth somewhere. Weird if battery as it's been driven loads lately. Only died overnight and I had left nothing on.

 

[JamesBryan]

Did it unlock ok and try to crank over?

 

[Louis]

It unlocked and locked fine but just clicked on the key

 

[robzracing]

check the lead on the starter motor. The small one can pop off sometimes.

Sounds like its that. if you have skinny hands and wrists you can get your hand between the middle exhaust manifolds to feel around for the spade connector.

 

[Gus]

if its lots of rapid clicks then its the battery.

 

[Louis]

It'll be dark tonight so I'll have a mooch in the morning

 

[Jekyll]

You say about the rep spoiler having 2x lines, compared to your 1× line?

 

[Louis]

Yeah, Italian rep ones have the 2 lines to clear the roof.
Yours different Mark?

Skinny hands you say, you've obviously not met Louis as he could easily stand in there![emoji23][emoji23]

I'm sure I read up about it before but couldn't remember.

I've just checked mine and I have 2x lines so lines an Italian one.

 

[Louis]

They're slightly larger but often take more prep to sit well iirc. Not sure how well this one will sit but time will tell

 

[Louis]

Sorted It! I had a loose negative terminal. The part where the nut is and that cable is connected. Tightened it up and then it turned over but wouldn't fire. Immobilizer was solid so I turned ignition on and left it for a minute or so then it fired into life. Happy days

 

[Louis]

It was a dry sunny day for a change so made some more progress by removing the front bumper and finally getting my carbon splitter and washer blanks fitted. First thing was to pop rivet the bonnet stay back on the car.

20180224_145150 by Louis Walker, on Flickr

Brought the front bumper into the house to avoid any scrapes or damage :smile:

20180224_155259 by Louis Walker, on Flickr

It was fairly fiddly to make sure the splitter was in place properly but I got there eventually. Glad I did it inside as I didn't have to worry about it falling in the wind. Should have fitted the washer blanks I painted ages ago as i've hated the blank holes in the bumper.

Very happy with the front end now! Just black insert xenons to go on next :smile:

 

[Stefan.]

Very nice

 

[cb10]

So much want for the carbon splitter. Can’t decide if to bin my fog lights of or not. Need to decide before the bumper goes back on though

When the genuine Renault cup splitters are so ridiculously expensive these carbon ones are very cheap in comparison! Got this one for a great price second hand and after a few coats of lacquer you can't even tell it's used!

And I like both! Difficult choice as once you go bass ducts you can't go back as you need to cut the bumper
