    Hi folks. Does anybody have any pics of the recaro trendlines without the seat covering on. I realise these seats come in numerous different cars, EVO,s Honda type R,s etc.. Are these any different to "our" Renault recaros.. I know its a strange request, but im looking into getting a "cheap" set...

    Picked up the Meg today

    Flippin heck , what on earth did you hit to do all that damage, although I understand it looks worse that it was due to the fire brigade cutting the roof off. Doesn't look like a "slow speed" impact.... And you only sustained a broken arm and shoulder. Im guessing the air bags did there job...

    Knocking from front end

    Its difficult to tell what side its from, but I think it might be the new Renault top mounts. Theres a thread on Cliosport about the subtle differences.. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/standard-top-mount-differences.810985/ Ive fitted new mounts which came without the inserts, so i fitted the...

    Knocking from front end

    Wheel refurb,ing.

    So ashton, do you happen to know the code of the powder coat colour that they used. Itd be a MASSIVE help, not only to me, but to others that might want to get theres done. Ive had one set of wheels done, but they have turned out a little bit "bronze" anthracite in colour, rather than the...

    Car Cover.

    Personally im not keen on them, as they can scratch the paint, as when the wind blows the cover can move around, also if its wet for any prolonged period the car doesn't dry out, and can "sweat" under the cover... I have used a "carcoon" in the past, There like a bubble,,but they don't come cheap...

    Rear Suspension Rebuild

    Ben. You mentioned about removing the rear axle mounts, are the bolt heads captive in the body, or did you have to get a socket on them from above.?? Are they easy to both get to and or replace if needed.? They don't look too hard to remove, its just the threads on mine are a bit crusty...
