Quite happy with these. Refurbed by the Wheel Specialist in Manchester on Tuesday. Bought some new wheel bolts from Demon Tweeks yesterday to compliment them :o

Nowt special in the mods department, Billstein B14 Coilovers, De-cat, APD matched inlets. Goes well for what it is tbh!

Well yes ish. I loved the 197, but this is a great motor for what i need at the mo. It feels well more brutal than the 197 ever did. I do miss the refinement of the 197, but meh, be reet ;)

Cheers fellas!
 
looks great matey! Did you paint the calipers with a brush?
 
I would happily give up my 197 to have that and some spare cash if I ever needed it.

That looks immaculate to me.
 
Cheers guys :o

What've you done with the fuel rail guard?

Lol, its in the shed. I sprayed up the inlets and guard before Steve @ Birchdown fitted the inlets, but the car is due an oil change in the next few weeks so i've left if off (and i dont have a deep 10mm socket lol)

Sprayed my friend. Not a fan of brushed finish, never looks good close up...... it upsets my OCD ;) I sourced a spare set of calipers, cleaned them up properly and did them after Christmas, just hammerite smooth silver. We fitted them a month or so ago. I'm toying with getting my originals powdercoated as its a much better/durable finish. I'll look into it :)
 
Not at all.

Calipers were Hamerite smooth silver (in spary form). The wheels were refurbed by The Wheel Specialist. http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/

Refurbed in their code TWS sport 1. Good match for the the standard finish, i left the centrecaps as they didnt need matching.
 
No sorry :(

Went to Tweeks to the alignment done, and while i was there whipped out a bolt and asked if they had any lol. They do loads of sizes. I can get the part no off my invoice if that helps?
 
Cheers chaps!

Yeah the new bullets help freshen it up, every little helps an all that :)
 
I'm in two minds whether to change to carbon bullets, or replace with new originals as you have done.

You got them new from a Renault dealer I assume? How much are they if you don't mind me asking ;)

Great minds. :p A freshen up with new bits makes it loads better than adding more crap to it.

Yeah from Renault, iirc around £20 each ish?

Mine were battered and beyond saving tbh, pitted to f**k!
