R26.R - Nurburgring & Spa 2015

[liver]

had the car just over a year now, was a year on sunday

covered 5,970 miles using 240 gallons of fuel

loved every mile of it aswell

also found during the red wheel refurb process that a wheel was cracked, that's currently with an engineer whos crack testing the wheel and welding it back up then the wheels will be painted. Hopefully getting that back today then painted tomorrow

had some up and downs, to be expected with a Renault. Just deciding on a treat for the car now

Wheels look  

Nothing more aggressive than devil red multi-spokes on a quick & light car  
I'm driving an RS265 at ring later in the year, can't wait judging by how this looks and how these go having met a few on my travels over the years

Been in one of these round the Ring driven by my mate who is sh*t hot (we have been about 10 times now) and they are awesome bits of kit, not quick straight line wise out of the box but sublime round the bends and the brakes were awesome (although he did a brand new set of front pads in 6 laps and cracked the disc!!) .
Would love one but not as a daily!!

Cheers Pete

yeah they are really capable cars, I totally agree about the speed in a straight line.

Luckily for me this is not my daily, ive still got a vag for that

How do you find having red wheels ? Do they discolour quite easily ? Easy ish to keep ? Or is there alot of polishing involved to keep the colour ?

I don't find them hard work at all, but during the bad weather I've had the black ones on because of tyres etc.

I had the red ones freshly painted, then I machine polished them, gave them 2 layers of wheel sealant and 2 layers of wax and they clean up like new just from the jet wash.

I haven't treat the red ones any different to any other wheels tbh

Cool cheers
