Who here owns a Renaultsport?

That's really annoying about the ARB! Didn't they say when you'd expect them when you ordered?

Is the ARB on back order from whiteline themselves, or just BM?

Well, the guy at BM told me that they're pretty hard to get hold of from Whiteline at the moment.

I've decided to pay a bit more and get one of the last three remaining from a custom ARB group buy on CS.net - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?546304-New-adjustable-rear-ARB-group-buy.

The difference, apparently:

They do the same thing as the whiteline's but have more adjustment and proper rose joints instead of rubber bushes.

About £40 more though.
 
Gave my headlights abit of a refurb today, used 2000 and 2500 wet 'n' dry and then some power gloss polish. Pretty happy with how they came out- they are never going to be perfect but it helps freshen the front up.

Wow, good work!! I really need to do this with mine.

Did you just wet sand the whole thing down, and then polish?

How long did it take?

Yeah, just taped around the lights and started with 2000 all over paying extra attention on the worse parts. Then 2500 all over again. Then polished, you could use another polish afterwards but didn't see the point with it being plastic. The whole thing took about 45mins per headlight (first time i've ever wet sanded anything) so pretty good really. I've read that a few people used 800 paper but its not really needed i don't think.
 
that headlight polishing looks much smarter.. will have to give it a go sometime when im bored and have nothing else to do which is all day long at the moment :p

squirrel, had the cat mod done yesterday at jabbasport.. will post some pics of the result but it would seem its not perfectly aligned at the back meaning the tailpipes are sqewiff will post some pics up later.

but the sound is a lot nicer and gives it a much throatier noise , and all in all it leaked around the manifold-cat, front silencer front + back , rear silencer which also leaked, so 4 leaks.. im sure the car has better response on the throttle now that the leaks have been erradicated and the scorpion exhaust sounds lurrvvly and burbly on tick over.
 
Looks like a broken front splitter, knackered exhaust mounts, handily placed interior shots to hide the most likely melted steering wheel and the thumb grips... no mention of the cambelt being changed either or service history! I'd steer clear myself lol
 
I would stay clear aswell, buy one from a hot hatch specialist or a club member :) Some things that you would never think of costing a lot (although only cosmetic) can cost big money. New CF splitter and steering wheel will set you back £270 for example. Any ad that doesn't highlight the good or bad sides about known problems with that particular car, run away. They should have done their homework :p

Nothing is mentioned, and of course will be checked out.

Are the exhausts hanging too low?
