cheers guys for the welcome & comments

Adam, removed side-mouldings, unclipped RS-tips, sprayed with black 2-pack paint (with no hardener) allow to air-dry (1-2days) carefully lift paint away from lettering with sharp model-knife, finish off with 2-pack clear-coat (with hardener) to seal-the-deal......simple realy!!! :wink:

more pics/specs to follow asap

Bloody-Hell (oops language) only been on the formun 10mins and my cars being `pigmentally-challenged!!!`......You don`t see stealth-fighters in orange do you!!! LOL :P

Welcome along mate,

Really like what you've done to the car, Did you purchase the F1 wheels or get the Cup/Trophy wheels painted?

I really want a set of the F1 wheels as I think they would look good on the, how do you say, Flymo but didn't know if you would get a good finish by painting the anthracite ones.

If you did get them painted what sort of cost?

Orange and black does it for me :oops:

evening all,

Mike....the wheels are genuine `F1` articles. After `much` phoning around of all the midlands based dealers, Renault in Shirley, Solihull was the only one who offered me 20% off without hesitation...£895.0 the set :cry: but worth every penny I think!! (quality & finish is superb) The std. tyres 225/40x18, wheel nuts/lockers, valves etc are a straight swop-over

****ie....Thanks for sorting my missing snaps!! I was sure 5 pics were copied across but couldn`t find em...was that me or photobucket? :oops:
tyre-shine nooooooooo!! shiney car + shiney wheels = `matt` tyres, no?

specs + other pics soon

Welcome matey, I was wondering when the black 225's would be utilising the black wheels. Looks awesome mate! Really like the side badges too.

£900 for the set dont seem to bad,

you fry finding a good set of wheels in 18s and 8.5 wide that will fit the megane and the original tyres for under a grand.

mike do it!!!!!!
and the mirrors to boot.

:D :D :D :D

Thanks guys for the positive responce to my baby `and` your friendly welcomes 8) Makes me feel right at home :D

Dont want to give up any specs just yet as I have `BJ` booked into the local dealer week-after-next for my list of warranty items to be sorted!!
You don`t know who`s looking-in now do you :wink:

usual suspects.....s-colm pinch-bolt, rear wiper packs-up on long trips, front time-wipe goes from `0` to `mental` & back again? and poss.a new one??....brake servo vacuum-reserve disappears (pedal goes rock-hard) after 3-4 hours standing & always overnight.......We shall see eh :!:

Cheers all, more soon

DAM YOU TURBO!!!!!
I was going to order a black one and then at the very last minute changed me mind cos we saw one and it looked like a standard 1.4.
Now Ive seen yours all polished up, de-badged and with the black wheels I think I've made the wrong decision.
