hi ant it's chris from halfords how you doing? not sure if you can still get them but a few firms are retrimming them but they want as much as a decent aftermarket wheel.

 

[Ant@BackyardRacing]

lol alright dude, long time no see ive joined your gang it would seem

yeah seen the re-trims, that will be my fall back if i cant get new tbh, but im a sucker for OE.


aftermarket, yuck!

£150 was the going rate for a re trim last time i looked does look very smart! but you can pick up a smaller omp wheel and boss for like £60 so its better to do that and chuck the manky old one back on before re sale

Not sure if reno still do them i would assume they do as its a common fault will be mega bucks though.

haha thats impressive from a D16!

When i finish Uni in couple years time i will be starting an EG build but dnt have the time or money for 3 cars atm

 

[Ant@BackyardRacing]

you would be amazed how cheap a d16 build is. we ran 10`s on a £90 chinease turbo, and £80 cast pistons! had about £650 in the motor

Yes they are still available as i have just bought a ph1 with a worn wheel, they are £250 and i think that was + vat, the one in my car was worn at 12k when the last owner bought it.
I even gave Renault uk a call to see if they would pay anything towards a new one as i am also a OE nut, but they have never seen the bad steering wheels as a problem

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

£250+ vat! does tht include airbag? and was that with or without any kind of discounts?

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

And really thats a pretty cheap build! still abit to much for me to handle atm need to get this school rubbish sorted

 

[Ant@BackyardRacing]

thats a fair price really, OE is never cheap. my only problem would be if it wore very quickly again as you mention, i would be a bit upset then, hmmmm

Dont be silly, the air bag is another part and the price was to joe blogs so i would think that i would get a bit off.

Same here tbh thats why i am going for a re trimed leather one, the guy who i bought my car off of said it was in the condition its in now when he bought it at 12k so god knows at what mileage they get worn at.
