Does anybody read the FAQ??



Q. How can I upload images to display on the forum?
A. Visit http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosporthttp://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport to upload images. The website gives you a URL you can then use on the forum by clicking on the http://forum.cliosport.net/forum_images/post_button_image.gif button to add the image to your message. (Thanks to _KDF for providing the uploader and storage).

 

[Lee]

You need to find somewhere to host them mate, then you can link to them on here. If you were a member you could use the Cliosport uploader.

 

[Lagerlout]

Didnt think you needed to be a member to use the Uploader?? In that case VaVa, ignore my rather sarcastic post, and accept my apologies!!

hehe @ first i thought Cocopops had made a cockup there..... since the original post was deleted.



its unbelievable how many people arent sure on how to upload images to the internet and post them on forums....

 

[CocoPops]

Here they are.
TBH They look normal!!
the number plate would hide the dip in the bumper, and the splitter finish looks normal as well, my 172 splitter (same design) is the same.

Good morning Coco,

Thanks again for your assistance.

As far these niggles are concerned, bumper shouldnt have been deformed and it will be replaced. If not for other reason, then for later times when the car goes for sale. So that nobody would blame me for bonging it.

Regarding the spoiler, if you magnify the picture you will see that someone has been carving it with some knife/blade on the left side. I am afraid this is not original state of the spoiler, right.

Anyway, I am sure that our enthusiasm over Renaultsport is a little bit over the edge. As my pics illustrate it.

I just HOPE the rest of the car is SOUND and that its my first and last moan about it. Do I expect too much again?

 

[Lee]

To be honest I couldnt care less if someone had carved their name into the back of my front bumper. By getting it replaced you are just asking for more problems. Bad colour match, damage to the wings etc. You cant see it so why why bother?

Personally Id rather not risk having something like that done as the end result could be worse.

As for the splitter they all look like that. I bought one new for my 172 and that looked exactly the same, a bit rough around the edges so to speak.

I guess having had a 172 Im used to the car being far from perfect so I just deal with it and give it a good thrashing to remind me whats good about it. Maybe you are being just a little picky mate.

Hope you get things sorted to your satisfaction though.

Lee

Dear Lee,

To be frank, I think you are right. Speaking globally.

But Lee, the issue I would like to speak out its not actually about the bumper or the splitter. The core problem lies somewhere else.

And you probably know who or what I am thinking about.

Bottom line: We must not allow them to wash us away just like that. We customers buy those RS sportlers. And that gives us right to speak our word.
