Re: Help with Alloy Wheels

Of course physically you CAN put the 19s on without any suspension mods, but after doing that you'll probably soon want to desperately lower your car, though. Will look well "funky" if you don't.... :D Wheels (or tyres) will not touch the arches provided you have chosen the wheel offset an...

Re: 1.6 disc upgrade!!!!

Some (if not all?) versions of the Scenic II have 300mm "normal" front brakes which are 20mm bigger than those on your 1.6 (280mm). Although bigger, they should AFAIK be a straight forward swap where you don't need to change the hubs and such. Just get the calipers off of such a Scenic II,...

Re: Bumper grilles

The last two are original Renault so should be available through any authorised dealer. Both are from some specific equipment versions, unfortunately I don't know which ones, or their part numbers. The first pic is an aftermarket set, a Turkish manufacturer called Omsa makes those in stainless steel...

Re: 6 speed fly wheel

Just out of interest: are we talking about the 1.9 dCi or the 2.0 16V petrol? Or do they both have dual-mass flywheels?

Owning a 2.0 16V six-speeder, I'm a little worried now...

(EDIT: Sorry, didn't notice hocuspocus' profile at first: 1.9dCi)

Re: HID's & Canbus

Yes, I meant I had personal experience only from a Phase 1 and can't say anything sure about the Phase 2. But having just browsed through some French Megane CC forum members' cars, many of the owners seem to have fitted HID kits to their Phase 2s and no-one mentions anything about problems with CAN....

Re: TheFinn's modded one

Thanks for the feedback guys! :) @Andy_CC: Improving the radio reception is a bit different for the CC as the antenna sits on the bootlid which is made of plastic. I once saw a thread somewhere discussing the reception issue on the CC, can't for the life of me remember where it was though... :( The ...

In the future I'll be posting any new mods under this subject, but first a quick(?) recap of what's happened so far: :D I first fitted a Pioneer DEH-P55BT ...

Re: Crystal rear lights

It seems those lights never materialised, their availability remains "soon" even today.... :-( It's not only Germany, that article number is recognised neither by the Finnish nor the Swedish network. Those would have been manufactured by the giant OEM supplier Valeo, but their "tuning...
