Sorry i ment the carpet not sure if renault still does it.

If you mean floor mats again not sure if available

Loose the 17s big time far to big but depends if you want the car for how it looks rather than the driving side

Recommended are the standard wheels or any that match the size, Renault spent alot of money developing the handaling to a set wheel if you change it you loose a lot

a popular idea on valvers is to get williams wheels and have them sprayed different colours always looks good plenty of pictures in the media section.

as for centre consol personal i would leave it but you obvioulsy want to change it i would recommended covering it with fabric etc rather than spraying is will get knocked and paint will eventually flake of and make it look tacky !

Regarding wheels you ca pick up original valver wheels for next to nothing or even williams wheels that have been kurbed and just need reconditioning

try sell you rims in local news paper etc and if that fails put them up on ebay with a suitable reserve
might even make you a bit of profit even after buying origianl wheels and spraying them etc
