  1. Well after having them For a long long time I decided it was time to take a trip to RTP to get my lot fitted. So here goes: Amuse front and sides There is a Chargespeed rear also but couldn't get a good picture so will add later.
  2. Quality photograph!
  3. Cheers Alex, likely to be in touch soon.
  4. Well sadly the fix only lasted 8 months and has now gone mad again..... So I need a new sender but not sure which one....... Time to experiment I feel ***update after 8 months I thought I was having issues but it seems I am not. I moved house and now my journey to work is very short. This moved coincided with the fuel gauge behaving oddly when in actuality it was due to my overall mpg dropping. So now December 2012 the gauge is still working after cleaning the senders.****
  5. Yep shine or RT Performance. RT-Performance are currently fitting my Shine Amuse Bumper but they make their own Fibreglass version also.
  6. As long as they don't cost £100 like the eBay ones They are a joke on price!
  7. I quite like them too if I'm honest.......eeeek

    I know they aren't Variable cam Engines. What I meant was it drops out of the power band which in most NA cars comes the column resonance of the air in the manifolds in relation to the cam timing. That's why you can move a power band around in the rev range by increasing or decreasing the runner lengths.

    If you go for a Clio the 172 cup is easily the best one for drivability. A friend has had all three, 172 cup, 182 cup and a 197 the 172 feels the perkiest and always wants to go. The 182 drops out of cam on gear changes and has nothing down the bottom end. The 197 is just too heavy. The 172 cup feels even better with a lightweight flywheel.
  10. If anyone buys this I have a set of the bolts and plugs you need for under the strut brace. Only want a few quid for them.
  11. No worries
  12. Forgot to say cost price was £1.40 (forgot to add VAT) so if you send me £2.30 I'll get them In the post today think they will need increased postage as wont fit that stupid slot the post office use! just send me your address. Also PM'd you my PayPal
  13. Unfortunately had to get 30mm screws as they had no 25's but I think I used 30's anyway but figured can always chop down if needed the other option was 20's. Got three sets so one for you and SMD and a spare if anyone else needs.
  14. I'll bob down at lunch and see what they have in. I'll get back to you this afternoon mate If my car was with me I'd pull mine out and see what I got last time. SMD do you also want a set getting?
  15. I've lost so much stuff by putting it in a safe place! It's my memory it's just bloody awful. If you want there is a place down the road from where I work I can bob in there and get you a couple each and send them on if you'll cover the postage and parts cost. You'll need to tell me the dimensions of what you want, I can't remember what I bought, they had a few different length M4's with different grip lengths?
  16. The leather looks to be in great condition! What did you use on it? I've got Autoglym stuff and frankly it's Gash!!! Car looks lovely and you chose the exhaust I'm Also considering
  17. Just make sure you clean up the hub properly and check the run out of the disks at the largest diameter with a DTI to prevent any future DTV issues. Runout limits for front are 0.05mm or 2 thousandths of an inch. Rears are 0.07mm or just under 3 thousandths of an inch. DTV usually shows up after a few thousand miles. Apart from that it's easy. Wheels off, calipers off push pistons back can be done by hand just a bit fiddly with the 4 pots on the front. Tie caliper out of way so brake line isn't stretched. Remove disk, clean up hub. Fit new disk, measure runout with disk in all 5 positions put disk on in position with lowest run out. Bolt caliper back on wheels on job done. Disks are held on by the wheels no little grub screw to slacken.
  18. I was concerned mine wouldn't have them and I'd end up buying a box full. If I knew where my spares were you could have them but alas I've absolutely no idea since moving house! They'll be in a safe place that's so safe I have no idea where it is......
  19. Just got to a local nut and bolt specialist like Bapp or similar I got 2 for about 70p
  20. You can do it from underneath by removing the undertray but its a right pain and far easier just to pull the bumper off which is easy.
  21. Mr Flibble is very angry
  22. Ha ha correct, sadly no prizes just the forum recognition that we are showing our ages. Or geekiness......
  23. Lol that's the plan mate
