  1. Said see you next year [​IMG]
     
  2. I got one on the part the dash obscures so you could only see it from the outside. Eventually spread all across the window.

    Got it replaced and the fitter put an inch long scratch on the inside of the A pillar, kinda under the edge of the glass :mad:
     
  3. wish I could do this with my car!
     
  4. Won't be using it so saves it getting scratched , also a good hiding place for Christmas presents lol
     
  5. Christmas presents to yourself for the car???
     
  6. Think you need a bigger car cover, she's peeking out
     
  7. Put some vinyl decals on the side, looks pretty cool with the yellow rs that's reflective too! 3cad2c5712fd6b1cdd929b2d60adaed3.jpg b1d94d114e689bceeb89e73f069dcb83.jpg a4f06cd39fc4ee35c63d434e3fbfeb3b.jpg d363817cbfe5dfaceba96c0ae533a2be.jpg
     
  8. Is this an easy enough job to do? if so, few pointers?
     
  9. Are these both yours dude? Love both of them. That BMW is sweet I'd like one of those after the Megane I think
     
  10. Its a bit fiddly but im not the most ept at doing these things.

    Take off cover by clutch pedal (plastic panel)
    pinch 2 plastic tabs on filter and pull out
    clean all crap out
    then put new filter in you will have to bend it this is the fiddly bit
    job done
     
  11. Stickers looks good. Do they do them for black cars?
     
  12. Ah ok, doesn't sound too tricky :smile: thanks, i shall have a go!
     
  13. Cleaned it, a lot

  14. No mate normal headlamps, they're a big improvement on whatever was in my car before though!
     

  15. Lol I took this photo on the 31st July and it still hasn't hit 51k yet.
     
  16. Minchy, nice RS Megane matey ! as an above post, where did you get the Meg' RS decals from ?
     
  17. Nice present for myself

    [​IMG]
     
  18. Are they PS2's ? Great tyres had them on my RS4 and I have them on the rear of my Meg just waiting for the F1's to wear before I replace at the front
     
  19. Yes mate they are PS2's never used them before. Had pilot exalto on my trophy and always used PS3's on the Meg before. So we shall say! Only thing is ideally you wana do all 4 to get the best out of the car / tyres but it's ££££
     
  20. Took the gearbox actuator off and filed and greased the bush so it self centres correctly in traffic!
     
  21. Detailed it ready for putting it up for sale, the roof graphics were looking a bit off-white so I got some polish on them - check how they came up :eek:

  22. Unblocked the scuttle drains.

    There was literally a puddle running the full length of the scuttle.
     
  23. Christ what a difference!!!! - did you just use something like superresin polish on a microfibre?
     
  24. Met up with me Audi mates in my Megane, had a good drive love the Meg
     
  25. Thought I'd use something with some bite, so used Megs Scratch X on a microfibre. Came up fantastic straight away!
     
  26. Sorted the receipts and paperwork, and stupidly added up what I've spent (which doesn't include parts I've bought and had sent straight to Mark Black) - over 3 grand in 2 1/2 years! Realistically that figure is at least 500-600 more. The vast majority of that is just replacements for wear and tear or upgrades rather than the car actually breaking which it rarely has!

  27. Today.. nothing. Its dirty but I am not bothering to clean it when its like this!
     
  28. Finally had my short shifter fitted, what a massive improvement! car serviced, brembo hc discs and xp8's fitted.
     
  29. first one for a while.. over past 2 days, picked up the new spare engine for the racecar thanks to Tim (Y)
    and off loaded and started stripping to assess the engine before the parts buying begins..
     
  30. bought a flange
     
  31. Gave it a winter clay and wax! [​IMG]
     
  32. Lovely mate
     
  33. Thanks!
     
  34. Gave the meg a blast around the evo triange,weather crap but enjoyed it never the less.
     
  35. First clean for nearly 3 months, I'd forgotten I had the red pack on my 265, hidden under some serious muck!

    All ready for a road trip in the morning to Mr Black for a service then onwards to Leeds to a certain running company.....
     
  36. Cleaned it and put it into hibernation until next year. Will re-appear at some point next year with a new bonnet and decals.
     
  37. Put mine away 2 weeks ago Rob
     
  38. Not much yet but started at 8.30 and fitting FMIC and Air Induction Kit, then got the fun task of removing the CAT to fit a Decat then full exhaust system. Oh and some hose changes along the way.

    Then 4.30pm it's due for a quick dyno run and to have the emissions warnings changed so it doesnt go limp mode with the decat fitted.
     
  39. What bonnet are you putting on?

    a new Renault one or an aftermarket carbon one?
     
  40. Another Renault one but its getting protected. I've given up with Renault Customer Services which now appear to be based in Uzbekistan and paid for it myself.
