Modified Centre Caps + Clear Side Repeaters.

This week I had the centre caps on my Monza's modified to take Turini centres. Also put some clear side repeaters on, think there a big improvement.

Thats before the centres were modified. The only reason I did change them was the outer covers held on by a pin were stolen. But i do think they look better now.

Cheers.

I would like a splitter, just seem expensive. Have considered trying a 307 splitter with a bit of black silicone on the joint.

No didn't cost anything to have the centre caps modified and the turini centres worked out at £15 for 4.

What megane is that off Scott, looks really good.

Its lowered on Eibach Sportlines. The pic in post number 8 shows them on the day they were fitted, that was about a month ago and I think you can see they have settled abit lower.

Great, looking forward to mine settling a little.
Fitted the same last week. Very happy with the ride and handling.

The handling is improved without changing the ride, you can't go wrong really.

Well they were a lot cheaper than Turini's Englebert. You get what you pay for, but I think they look good.
 
I think the centre caps look a bit odd, imo it makes them look like the old team dynamic wheels that were out years ago. Ah well, as long as you like them that's all that matters.

The centre caps were the old style from the early 90's before I had them modified, with pins holding the outer cover in place. I don't think I prefer them over the standard 172 wheels (that I've still got) but I don't think they look bad.

Yeh these wheels (Team Dynamic Monza R's) have been around for about 20 years havn't they with the only thing changing being the centre caps. Mine are recent Monza's with old caps.

Yeh I wouldn't mind a megane splitter, anyone got one spare?

Hah, yeh I just slapped a bit of hubba bubba on!

They would look better if they could have been counter sunk, but the centre caps arn't thick enough. Might have some more complete centre caps made up.

Bought these today, with centre caps. Got a very good deal on them, going to get them refurbed. Opinions on colour?

Call me a sheep but I reckon those turinis will look 10x better than the wheels you had on. As for colour I'd say silver.

Yeh I think silver. You do see a fair few 172's with turini's on here but on the road it's a different story, excluding cups obviously.
