My new baby I mean V6

[ADS_V6]

I got new bolts from ebay last year, £13 delivered for zinc coated ones (I think that's right) Also the ones from Renault don't have the spinning collar on them (my original ones did) but you don't need those.

Many thanks i put clio v6 bolts into ebay but coomes up with a few have any chance could maybe find the original listing at some point as dont want too order wrong ones.Thanks Al

How about TPI polarised bolts?!:grinning:

 

[cat171]

These ones, ebay item number 261810051430 Turns out they were only £11.50 delivered :up:

No worries fella! I did look at TPI ones before, but their website was a pain in the backside.

Yep i given up on those aswell.rusty bolts ruin the look imo of fresh alloys

I tried to get new Renault wheel bolts last year but the set has been discontinued or unavailable at the time. I also looked at the tpi ones but as I purchased wheel spacers I got new longer bolts from larkspeed at the same time.

Car looks great mate. Have you had chance to get out and use it much yet?

Just dropped all the new service parts,discs etc down to the garage,gave car a quick wash and then out of the blue @LeeRS turns up in his new ride.I was quite shocked too say the least esp as the insurance increase must be huge.

Thanks mate appreciated,only dilemma i have is replacing the lights with either new non xenons as real xenons from renault are stupid money.

What's up with the lights mate?

 

[imprezaworks]

You must be the best person to buy a car from. Always keep on top of the car

 

[ADS_V6]

What's up with the lights mate?

Inside of the lenses have got wear and discolored might not bother some,but gotta be perfect i might try non xenons and keep the old ones

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

What's up with the lights mate?

There's a dead fly on his current ones. Doesn't conform to Alex's obsession with it being mint

 

[Mr Plums]

Cant you take them apart and sort them or have them sorted somewhere?

Is it deffo not the outside that are hazy?

I wouldn't swap xenons to non xenons mate, especially on your lovely V6.

Flol,James luckily im not paying the bill for this or the rear shock or i think I would be suffering from shock

Outsides are ok,its bad inside.I know but renault want arm and 2 legs for new xenons Tom

 

[RDH]

Fantastic that mate. Love a V6.

Although if you swap the xenons for non xenons you should be banned from the site!

I know it sounds awful,might try and find some used mint ones but its hard,was let down on a ebay pair that are going back,when seller said they were very good.

The insides of mine are awful. Completely full of water! Before it was MOTd the other week I had the headlights inside for a week to dry out with the caps off. They were perfect.....for a day. Full of water again now completely ruins the front end

 

[Mr Plums]

Do they come apart mate?

Couldn't they be repaired? I would rather pay for the xenons repaired if its at all possible.

Yep thats the problem,the lenses look like they have been removed etc.But its 500 plus for new xenons.You fitted those tyres yet?

 

[RDH]

I know what you mean mate. I'd definitely hold out for a 2nd hand set. Even if they aren't mint inside aslong as they are properly polished up then I'd much rather them than non xenons.
