took me about an hour all in and has set me back the pricely sum of £30 :approve:
Nice cheap mod, but sweeeet! :star:

:rasp:

 

[Jamie _Swales]

nice one, do they actually work?

 

[Da]

yep, course they work mate I wouldn't fit them if they didn't

 

[172 Dave]

work as they should? ie with headlamps on only? just curious m8 not doubting ur work

 

[Da]

No mate, the washers on 172/182's are UCH controlled, so that's a no-go. Mine simply wash when I wash my front screen. Although I'm thinking of adding a second pump at a later date which should enable me to make them work only when headlights are on. But i'll never achieve the 5 second delay that you sport users enjoy :dapprove:

 

[Craig]

looks good mate

 

[172 Dave]

nice tho mate fair play the look great.

 

[Da]

cheers guys :approve:

 

[d4ve86]

nice one, now get ready to top up the washer stuff lots!

 

[172 Dave]

not on my Ph1 they dont need them as the flies n crap simply slide off due to the extra speed the Ph1 carries over the Ph2........









**Runs and runs for cover**

 

[brisa4984]

^^keep running!

 

[M1TCH]

never seen these at work, how can they actually clean the lense by just spraying water on them? :S

T%hats just it, they don't!
But Xenons have to have them on for some reason, in case a bit of dust blinds other drivers!

 

[Leeds_VTO]

^^^LOL waitin to see that extra speed of the ph1s , nice job mate

 

[lawrence]

i cant understand how you have to wash jets when you could quite easily get a reflection off the water too? looks good though

 

[D"w!Z]

sooo needs a 172 bumper

 

[DaveJwxm]

looking good mate

 

[Limca]

nice mod. fit them on mine will ya

 

[Da]

nice mod. fit them on mine will ya

no probs mate, PM me Cheers for the nice comments guys, as for why you have to have them...i've no idea lol! But i think it's a nice simple mod, subtle but effective

 

[Alan]

Smart mate...

Tho i try to avoid using the washers period as it puts dirty water mark down the side of the car ffs!

 

[makavelli]

very nicely done m8y

 

[Adam]

cool.....nice one

 

[Da]

cheers lads, suppose it makes mine unique

 

[Cupster]

Looks better without, but by law xenons are supposed to have wash units and auto levelling.

 

[Ally]

Looks good.

I try not to use mine either, but for a proper reason (by not holding down the windscreen water button more than a few secs) as I'm worried about the bloody balls popping out / leaking.

 

[Mattsclio!]

nice one mate?were they hard to fit?

 

[Paul J]

Nice job, look factory fit but expect to replace them every year lol

Would like mine removed and smoothed personally.

 

[Da]

nice one mate?were they hard to fit?

No mate not hard at all. Took me an hour including all pipework drilling bumper etc..etc... My next idea is to add a separate washer bottle just for the headlights with a 5 second timer supplied from the headlights so they work as they should

 

[Brock]

Hey Daz,

From where did you buy the washers?? Tried lookin on ebay for a pair but all with these funny chrome look and different colours to make them worse!!!

Looks good! Well done mate!

Brock

 

[Da]

Hi Brock, they're direct from Renault, they hardly ever come up on eBay believe me! They're around £7 quid each brand new, but don't come with locknuts for the fixings so you'll have to source them also... M14 x 1.5mm thread is what i found worked. I can supply part numbers for the washers if you like mate, i'll dig them out if you get back to me.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks good.

I try not to use mine either, but for a proper reason (by not holding down the windscreen water button more than a few secs) as I'm worried about the bloody balls popping out / leaking.

Me too, i've already had two replaced:S

 

[beechey]

the pics dont work

 

[AK]

It is a thread for 2006 lol :rasp:

 

[jack_davey]

lol I think I may be the only one to remove these off my car, as the blanks look better and the washers dont seem to work anyway!

 

[Ralphizzle]

Never seen mines work either...

In either case; the rules for carrying washer with xenons is b.s. if you ask me.

I see chumps blinding me with those 'white' bulbs in their 'Fast and Furious cars'.
As to running 4500K Halogen bulbs to look like xenons or HID's.

 

[Da]

the pics dont work

It is a thread for 2006 lol :rasp:

lol @ the 3 year bump!

But yeah the pics are long gone now sorry, if anyone needs them I still have them on my PC somewhere...

 

[clio_luke]

they are the most annoying part of my car and i want to remove them and fit the cup blanking plates. all they do is put watermarks on your lovely clean car, use up more water and look poo.

just noticed how old the thread is. lol.

 

[beechey]

ha ha

 

[Craig]

lol

 

[N!CK R]
