Thanks to a new bonnet and front bumper fitted friday, the car got one serious detailing session on saturday. Just nicked works camera and went to the car park for a bit of snapping.

Got a bit trigger happy, enjoy...

[Dansta]

[Giles]

[Darren]

are those trophy turinis or have you had them sprayed? look a bit lighter than trophys

 

[JR]

v nice

 

[lewisniven]

i had them refurbed in that colour. i compared them to a trophy the other day, theyre 99% spot on, might just be the pics, but agains a trophy its very hard to tell the difference.

 

[Mikey]

man id love a cup ... great pics mate!!

 

[JD]

looks like a good colour match lewis mate, spot on, well in

jamie

 

[Englebert]

Not bad... prefer normal silver wheels on them though.

 

[Dansta]

You realise your number plate is illegal now?

 

[Jeffer]

whats the difference between your new bonnet and a normal bonnet?

 

[lewisniven]

how is my plate illegal?

and my new bonnet isnt covered in dents, lol (bloody vandals)

 

[tomhunt85]

You realise your number plate is illegal now?

Can't see why?

 

[JD]

technically, the plate is illegal because it says cliosport.net underneath the letters, so unless the small writing in the right hand corner is the place you bought it from, its illegal.

having said that, no one could see that when theyre driving along, so you aint gonna get pulled, so it doesnt matter. and the rules are so bloody vague that no copper is that anal lol

looks great, CF splitter? or just highly cleaned?

how is my plate illegal?

3D lettering?

 

[JD]

no thats legal ish, grey area. the above reason is why

jamie

 

[lewisniven]

The place I got them from does have thier logo in the corner. my dad is supplier to the company that make them (jepson or sumthing) so he sorted them for me.

I wanted honeycomb backing but thats now illegal. 3D lettering is not illegal.

The plates are definately 100% legal.

 

[pete_clio]

did you buy your paint of renault of get it mixed somewhere? im gettin my wing and bumper sprayed today and im just hoping the colour match is a good one. i got mine mixed

 

[lewisniven]

and yeah, tis a carbon splitter

 

[lewisniven]

did you buy your paint of renault of get it mixed somewhere? im gettin my wing and bumper sprayed today and im just hoping the colour match is a good one. i got mine mixed

no idea, i took it to a renault approved body shop in kettering and they ordered a new bonnet and bumper, and sprayed them both, no idea where the paint came from but the match is 100% spot on.

 

[N!CK R]

I wanted honeycomb backing but thats now illegal. 3D lettering is not illegal.

Is it! Oh dear.... I have honeycomb backing, 3d lettering and renault written along the bottom.

 

[G_F]

The plates are definately 100% legal.

Its illegal because it hasnt got the postcode of the maker on it, so you can be issued with a £30 fine for that alone.

Nice cup, good pics

THE BRITISH STANDARD

The British Standard sets out the physical characteristics on the number plate. This includes:

• Visibility
• Strength
• Reflectivity

The British Standard also requires that a number plate must be marked with the following information: -

• The British Standard Number (currently BS AU 145d)
• The name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier. (The company who actually make the number plates.)
• The name and postcode of the supplying outlet. (The 'supplying outlet' is taken to mean a company whose business consists wholly or partly of selling number plates.)
• A non-reflective border and the Euro-symbol with the national identification letters are optional additions.
• There shall be no other markings or material contained on the number plate.

not arguing lewis mate but the following is what i mean;

http://www.dvla.gov.uk/media/pdf/leaflets/displayofnumberplates.pdf

look under "the british standard" heading;

"The British Standard also requires that a number plate must be marked with the followinginformation: -
l The British Standard Number (currently BS AU 145d)
l The name, trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or componentsupplier. (The company who actually make the number plate.)
l The name and postcode of the supplying outlet. (The 'supplying outlet' is taken to mean acompany whose business consists wholly or partly of selling number plates.)
l A non-reflective border and the Euro-symbol with the national identification letters areoptional additions.
l There shall be no other markings or material contained on the number plate."

[JD]

lol G F

jamie

 

[lewisniven]

they dont need the postcode, just the makers name and british standard code that they conform to.

both of which are present on mine. when my dad got them he told me about how they couldnt do everything i wanted due to legalities. he also had to take my V5 b4 theyd do them, cuz they have to keep a copy of the details, and prove the car exists.

i can assure you, they are 100% legal, the guy wouldnt of done them otherwise. jepson are one of the biggest suppliers of plates in the country,

 

[G_F]

Beat ya^^lol

I got a fine for mine not displaying BS AU 145d on the plate, another guy on here, who is a copper, got fined for not having the postcode on his only the other week.

Traffic cops have targets that need to be made, total fags.

 

[G_F]

Fair enough, but yours will still fail due to having the text at the bottom, cliosport..

There shall be no other markings or material contained on the number plate.

 

[JD]

sorry lewis, dont wanna detract from this thread gorgeous car and if you say the plate is legal and it was done by a large company i believe you bud

looks sexellent

jamie

 

[nosluom]

absolutely love it mate. i so need to get my wheels done that colour!!

 

[lewisniven]

this is what ive got:

what copper is gonna get close enough to spot the lack of postcode? and be enough of a c**k master to fine me for it?

the original plates that came on the car from renault have no maker, and no postcode.

and thanks for the comments guys, im loving my car right now, hehe.

cant wait to get a nighttime photoshoot opportunity.

 

[S77CCP]

Spanking motor Lewis, look forward to seeing it at the next meet.

 

[fUbAr]

[lewisniven]

remember when bubbles had her front end resprayed, renault took something like 2 months to get them in!!

jamie

 

[Darren]

what was the paint code for the wheels? it a renault colour?

 

[fUbAr]

yeah i know, dunno why they didnt do that at the body shop. im not too botherd tho tbh.

They're nearly £20 from renault iirc so thats probably why. I can supply you some, PM me your address.
