    Painting brakes

    I used this (but in black) :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RED-BRAKE-CALIPER ... 240%3A1318 From what I could tell the original colour was a silver plated finish of some kind which had all but peeled off.

    Clio V6 vs Megane R26R on Autocar TV

    Nothing like putting my foot in it - sorry big S :oops: . Should add 'from what I saw from the pics of yours' plus it was bloomin awful weather they were hooning them round in. Would much rather have the GTT than the Twingo any day for street cred RS or not ! :lol:

    Clio V6 vs Megane R26R on Autocar TV

    Good find - I don't have sound on my PC at work so will have a listen later to see which came out on top. Didn't realise the Megy was a two seater with the role cage in the back.

    Painting brakes

    Done mine in black heat resistant caliper paint after the original silver coating started to flake off and show signs of surface corrosion. Very subtle with the wheels on. Of course the same can't be said of the Pagids ........ [attachment=0:fvzq9ujk]m1.jpg[/attachment:fvzq9ujk]

    My 5GTT

    Real good find Hoolio - I should think its a real head turner from Renault fans !!. I remember riding as a passenger in one which must be 15 years ago and I was terrified partly due to how low to the ground you are - great fun :D

    Cold boot struts

    I think brand new ones are effected to some extent due to the gas pressure changing due to temperature - it does get worse as the struts age though due to leakage.

    MW05*** Odeon cinema Nuneaton - Fri 07/11 10.15pm

    Just came back to the car after watching the new bond film (slightly disappointed after all the hype and rave reviews) and behind me was a blue 172 (cup I think) with the Trophy 2 cars to the right. Must be local to go to that cinema ???.

    What Can You See Yourself Replacing Your Trophy With?

    Probably an Alfa of some sort but then it depends on circumstances at the time. Would also be good to keep the 'T' for when the Alfa breaks down :D

    chech your seals!

    Not sure - I can post a piccie of my new one when I get home this afternoon.

    chech your seals!

    Thanks for that - might get mine up on ramps at the w/e. Yes there is a recall on the bonnet catches on all Mk2 clios I believe, they changed mine when I took it for an MOT. Didn't have a letter from DVLA though which I think is how recalls usually work.

    chech your seals!

    Sounds expensive !!! ...... I guess you have to get under the car to check this out ?.

    Nice weather

    Too right ! Well I have to give the door a heck of a tug as it was frozen to the seals and then when I put something in the boot the hatchback swollowed me up after the gas struts decided not to work due to the temperature effecting the viscosity of the oil I guess. Take it easy out there all.

    Must admit that I don't look at the RS site, just this one and occasionally C/S.net if I have any parts to buy or sell. If you could give me a shout when the next one is being organised that would be great :D Will also look out for you in Nunny.

    Messin' about with Photoshop

    The white looks trick - good job !! :D . Saw an Astra VXR Nurburgring edition a few weeks back - that looked good too but wouldn't like to clean the white mulit-spoke wheels.
