Renault dont do chromed nuts anymore. You get the dull steel ones as on the 172 / 182 :shock:

I voted gold, but i meant get them rechromed yourself.

NicK Hill will soon have a machine to chrome things. I am going to buy new wheel bolts from Renault and get him to chrome them. Also will do all my silver badges so they are easy to polish.

They do I bought one about 5 weeks ago for my old 16v.

I was thinking paint them gold and see what they look like. If I don't like them or they look wrong I could get them chromed through work but i'd need some other nuts to swap with. Hmmmm

No,

look at my car on the mike brewer vid. The Silver rim and silver wheel bolts set the car off against the gold. Silver all the way.

Even a locking wheel nut ruins the effect.

Northy did you buy them in a pack like that?

What was the damage?

I bought one from Renault 5wks ago for £5.

Are locking nuts included in that pack or are they just standard nuts? (looks like lockers on top LH side of top photo)

Whats the advantage of loose collars?

I think i've got a set of those chromed nuts, genuine Renault ones! If someone is thinking of ordering some, hold on and i'll check mine when i get home tonight, then if they're new (which i think they are), i can sell them on
