What have you done to your Car today?

That's really tidy Chris :cool:

 

It's the first initial 'whack' that makes all the difference

 

You too lee.

Defiantly worth it though, the 500 was a nice place to be in...just not on motorways

 

Cleaned two of them and thought about writing a for sale add.

 

Selling up? What's next?

 

Toureg 3.0v6 tdi I think Mate.

My old mans just bought one and I love it.

 

Nice cars, I've got a soft spot for x6 4.0d we'll no doubt chop the 1 series in in a few years

 

Changed the Renault Diamonds to black, rather like it against the Lunar and black wheels

 

Got something in the post

 

Looks spot on. Where did you get the badges?

 

Cheapy over badges off Flea Bay as wanted to try them before committing, but they look pretty good. If the sticky fails and they fall off its £7.95 down the drain;-) Now I've seen them on I'm tempted to get the original badges carbon wrapped to match the bonnet. Live with the cheap overlays for a while and see...........probably never get round to it

 

just send a pair of the black stick on badges off and have them dipped easier and can allways go back to chrome

 

Looks good with the black/grey theme.
I fitted the carbon ones on mine but didn't really like them so went back to standard.

 

Good plan

 

So have you still got the carbon ones?

 

No. Sorry.

 

Just modified my mist jets and fitted them :-) happy.

 

Hopefully receive mine soon

 

Where can I get these mist jets from please

 

get these

You have to drop lucky on a set Steve. They require slight modification to fit the R bonnet also.

 

Done a few bits and pieces over the last few days, I gave the 250 a good clean and top up of wax and also removed the rear wiper blade and motor. This morning i took her out for a few pics:

Resealed my rear light. blocked off my Headlight washers (they were annoying me lol) and fitted new whiter looking headlight bulbs and sidelights

 

Fitted some new wiper blades. I know, not the most glamorous of jobs but it had to be done lol

 

Fitted my Team Henko wind deflectors.

 

Fitted a dump valve! And Mrs wind deflectors on her Skoda Octavia vRS.

 

Fitted new renault f1 laurel stickers in rear windows

 

Had front and rear pads and discs changed on Saturday. Fluid and lines changed yesterday.

New tyres got delivered yesterday too.

 

Pressed this in and then fitted, brilliant service from cazan as it's a different mount on the r.

 

Fitted some TPI wheel bolts from Cazan, top service by the way !

 

New rack bush, twist links, driveshaft bracket, new wheel, lowered subframes and re-align exhaust.

All thank to mark.

Everything feels tight and direct.

 

What mount is that for, any difference Ed

 

That's the lower engine mount Steve. Not tried it with this in yet but I did my gearbox one and it's alot better. Not sure if mine were buggered but sometimes the engine movement made it kind of throw the car into a gear but feels nice and precise now.

 

New tyres fitted all round.

 

Not to do with my car but had a formula renault experience today, absolute hoot but over far too quick

spent half the time getting used to it, the sequential boxes are proper hard work!

and for anyone with big feet wear the smallest shoes possible, the clutch brake and accelerator are literally next to eachother, like i could probably press all 3 with one foot if i tried.

it was wet aswell so had a wicked time out of the corners

 

Cleaned my car again. Just too stay on top of it.

Midnight blue is great when cleaned.
